  • Zusatztext
    • <p>Is intelligence heritable? Karl-Friedrich Fischbach and Martin Niggeschmidt show that "heritability" means something different in biological terminology than in everyday language - which almost inevitably leads to misinterpretations. They explain why twin studies are controversial - and why genetic predictions of IQ and "educational attainment" must be treated with skepticism. <br></p><div><p></p></div><p></p>This book is a translation of the original German 2<sup>nd</sup> edition <i>Erblichkeit der Intelligenz </i>by Karl-Friedrich Fischbach& Martin Niggeschmidt, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further thedevelopment of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.<br><p></p><p><b>The Authors:</b></p><b>Prof. Dr. Karl-Friedrich Fischbach</b>is a developmental biologist and neurogeneticist.
