Reply #6: Genetic Determinism was always based on biased popularizations of known science.

[Odin2005]

Popular ideas of genetic determinism over the last 30 years are inventions of ideologically biased pop-sci writing. Ask any serious expert on human genetics and nearly every one will tell you that human nature is an insanely complex interaction between genes and the environment. Genes do not exist in a vacuum, the expression of many genes is strongly modulated by the environmental conditions, and that is especially true with genes involved with the development of the nervous system.


Oh, and Charles Murray can go f*ck himself with an IQ test.

The notion that there is a single universal "human nature" in anything more than basic biological drives and instincts is complete nonsense.
