Heritability Estimates From Kinship Correlations
1. h2 = rMZA = .70
2. h2 = 2(rMZT - r DZT) = 2( .86 - .58) = .56
3. h2 = 1 - rUT = 1 - . 31 = .69
4. h2 = 1 - rVT = 1- .26 = .74
5. model-fitting: h2 = .50
Note also: rMZA(entirely genetic) + rUT (entirely environmental)
= .70 + .31 = 1.01

Kamin
To the degree that the case for a genetic influence on IQ scores rests on the celebrated studies of separated twins, we can justifiably conclude that there is no reason to reject the hypothesis that IQ is simply not heritable.
(e.g., Kamin, 1974, p. 67; cf. also Kamin in Eysenck & Kamin, 1981, p. 154; Lewontin, Rose & Kamin, 1984, pp. 106-110)

Farber
My own evaluation, particularly of the allegedly scientific analyses of the IQ data, is more caustic. Suffice it to say that it seems that there has been a great deal of action with numbers but not much progress-- or sometimes not even much common sense. (Farber, 1981, p. 22).
![Page 10: Kinship IQ Correlations. References a) Erlenmeyer-Kimling, L., & Jarvik, L.F. (1963). Genetics and intelligence: A review. Science, 142, 1477-1478. b)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b37cc5503465c7e8b4ceb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Taylor
In sum, given the available methods and data, there once again appears to be no compelling reason to postulate the existence of any genes “for” intelligence.(Taylor, 1980, p. 111).

Criticisms of MZA Studies
Assumptions:a) High interrater agreementb) Looks more important than behaviorc) MZAs actually look aliked) Treatment can raise or lower IQ
1. Placement Bias
2. Pygmalion Effect and MZA’s look alike
![Page 13: Kinship IQ Correlations. References a) Erlenmeyer-Kimling, L., & Jarvik, L.F. (1963). Genetics and intelligence: A review. Science, 142, 1477-1478. b)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b37cc5503465c7e8b4ceb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Criticisms of MZA Studies
1. Placement Bias
2. Pygmalion Effect and MZA’s look alike
3. Pseudoanalyses
a) Highly selective subgroups of datab) Liberal use of significance testsc) Constructive replication is ignoredd) Sample sizes are often very small

Taylor
The similarity in educational, socioeconomic, and interpersonal environments, referred to here as social environment, is a central reason why monozygotic twins regarded in the professional literature as separately raised reveal similar IQ scores. MZ twin pairs who have had similar social environment (such as similar schooling) have similar IQs, and twin pairs who have relatively different social environments (especially different schooling) have different IQs. (p. 92).

Effect of Similar Environments on MZA Correlations
![Page 16: Kinship IQ Correlations. References a) Erlenmeyer-Kimling, L., & Jarvik, L.F. (1963). Genetics and intelligence: A review. Science, 142, 1477-1478. b)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b37cc5503465c7e8b4ceb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Effect of Being Raised by Relatives on MZA Correlations
![Page 17: Kinship IQ Correlations. References a) Erlenmeyer-Kimling, L., & Jarvik, L.F. (1963). Genetics and intelligence: A review. Science, 142, 1477-1478. b)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b37cc5503465c7e8b4ceb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Effect of Being Reunited on MZA Correlations
![Page 18: Kinship IQ Correlations. References a) Erlenmeyer-Kimling, L., & Jarvik, L.F. (1963). Genetics and intelligence: A review. Science, 142, 1477-1478. b)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b37cc5503465c7e8b4ceb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
If partial reunions can cause MZA’s to correlate .84, then why do:
• Non-twin siblings raised together only correlate .46?
• DZ twins raised together correlate .58?
• Unrelated adoptees raised together correlate .31?
• Virtual twins raised together correlate .26?

Molecular Genetic Studies of IQ
• Intelligence influenced by many genes, each exerting only a small influence
• QTL designs need to be very powerful to detect small genetic effects
• To-date, only a few QTL studies of IQ and limited (if any) replication
• Plomin’s IQ QTL Project
