This paper explores the evolution of hereditarianism in its various forms, examining its connections to racism and anti-egalitarian politics, and concludes with an evaluation of causal claims in contemporary social science genomics.
Abstract Hereditarianism is a pseudoscientific view relying on the assumption that varying environmental forces selected for intelligence differentially on ancestral populations. As human groups migrated to different areas worldwide, hereditarians argue, novel ecological pressures necessitated different degrees of inno...
A unified theoretical framework formalised by the conceptual equation A + B = 1, where A represents human biological inheritance and B represents dynamic cultural systems is introduced, which establishes a rigorous guardrail against both biological determinism and radical cultural blank-slate models.
Since the 19th century, numerous approaches have been developed to determine the relationship between Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and humans as cultural beings.

Abstract Prediction has long been a feature of medical genetics. Yet with the advent of polygenic indices (PGIs), there has been a fundamental shift in the complexity and ambiguity of the predictive power afforded by genetics. These indices, which use large datasets to estimate how genetic variants relate to phenotype,...
