The relationship between educational attainment and genes is complicated, and we are still at the beginning of trying to disentangling this. The fact that genes play a role in educational outcomes has been established decades ago with twin studies, whereby identical twins, who share 100% of their DNA, were compared to fraternal twins, who share as much DNA as a normal pair of siblings. Like all behavioral traits that were studied in twins, identical twins were more likely to have similar educational levels than fraternal twins, which is a strong indication that the trait is heritable. The heritability of educational attainment has been estimated to be ~40%. More recently, geneticists have been able to pin-point specific locations in the genome that are responsible for these heritability estimates. The effects of individual genetic variants are very small, so very large sample sizes are required to reach sufficient statistical power to identify these tiny effects. In 2013, the first three variants were detected in a study where DNA was measured for 126,000 individuals. Larger studies followed soon thereafter, with the most recent study from 2018 consisting of 1.1 million individuals, which identified 1,271 genetic variants to be significantly associated with school performance. This number will certainly increase as these studies grow. In this latest study, all these small effects in aggregate explain about 10% of the individual differences in educational attainment. Geneticists are now able to show, using molecular DNA measures, that the association between your genes and educational attainment can in part be explained by these indirect genetic effects that travel from your parents trough your rearing environment. This means that these genetic effects are about half as predictive of school outcomes in adopted children than in children that grew up with their biological parents. A similar effect is visible on a regional level as well. A recent study of 450,000 people from all over Great Britain showed that people with similar genetic propensities for educational attainment cluster together geographically, and that the geographic patterns of these genes strongly resemble regional differences in socio-economic status. The environmental living circumstances also differ greatly between these regions, resulting in regional differences in physical and mental health problems, which in turn has its impact on regional differences in educational attainment as well. Part of the associations between genes and educational attainment are due to these regional differences in environmental living circumstances, making these genes less predictive for educational attainment within regions than across the country. Genomics is just starting to disentangle what these associations between our genes and school performance mean, and the field still have a long way to go. There are a number of directions in which this research will continue. Firstly, geneticists will continue to increase the sample sizes, so they can produce better estimates of the genetic effects and identify more associated genetic variants. These larger studies will have to be conducted within families and within regions as well in order to control for the environmental influences that artificially inflate the estimated genetic effects, while also learning more about the indirect genetic effects of the genes carried by the people around us. Secondly, they will have to tease out through which lower-level traits these genetic variants express themselves. Genes do not directly influence educational attainment, instead they influence biological processes that are associated with a wide range of lower level outcomes that together have an influence on your school performance. These lower-level outcomes include things like intelligence and personality, but also outcomes related to physical and mental health. Finally, once they have teased out through which traits the genetic effects travel, it will perhaps become more feasible to start learning more about all the layers of complex biological processes in between these traits and our DNA sequence. Genetics could help raise awareness about the difficulty that substantial parts of the population have with climbing the socio-economic ladder in an increasingly complex society. Policy makers often overlook the role of genetics in the rapidly growing social inequalities. When we disregard genetics, we end up in a society where everyone is expected to have the capability to perform well in school and on the job market, and whoever does not is likely to be regarded as not having worked hard enough. Accepting that both genetics and environmental influences have a role in people’s failures and achievements might bring us a little bit closer to building a more fair society.
As long as health care is private and for profit that kind of system will flatter and ossify the existing stratification in society. Even the most well-intentioned genetic scheme, when governed under logic of money and profit, becomes social darwinism and eugenics. God's design of evolution leaves some things to chance, and other things to individual choice - who are we to 'fix' every aspect of His selective design. Our reductionism is demonstrably harming the ecology of this planet which has been leased to us. No machine ever made by man can compare to the dynamic complexity of God's work. Not to say people should eschew science and medicine, but they have a right to question any system that is imposed by other humans and is unreasonably 'one size fits all'.
@@MilesBont they are making a rather banal argument that genetics influence academic success and we should redesign the education system to reflect this. But anyone can make the Pascal's Wager that they are more than the checksum of their 23&Me.txt. How is academic success measured? It is well known that the education system has a problem with implicit and explicit bias.
There are facts that were once known, sometimes generally known, that are now known to but a few. Some of this information loss is caused by changes in occupational patterns - farmers automatically know something about heritability, clerks and workers in dark satanic mills, and Chapo viewers, not so much. But mostly these facts are unpleasant, at least to some ears. People who mention such facts are punished - generally in terms of their careers, not being invited to parties, etc. That’s enough to cause a 10 or 20-fold drop in visibility, which ought to tell you something about how brave people are. Many people assume that everyone is secretly aware of those unpleasant facts, but that is not the case. A generation that has grown up never hearing those facts will be almost entirely unaware of them, in part because their personal life experiences don’t impinge on those patterns much. This means that they can and sometimes do make serious mistakes that those ‘secretly aware’ types never would. There are a lot of facts like this. It’s made even worse by charlatans spewing falsehoods - sometimes that’s all that the typical undergraduate is exposed to. For example, average brain size is not the same in all human populations. Average cranial capacity in Europeans is about 1362 ccs; 1380 in Asians, 1276 in Africans. It’s about 1270 in New Guinea. Generally there is a trend with latitude - brain volume is lowest near the equator. And no, despite Gould’s bushwa, there is nothing especially difficult about measuring brain volume. Direct measurement of a healthy brain is best; but that is now done, using magnetic resonance imagery, and the results are about the same - a mean black-white difference of about 1 standard deviation. Graduate students in anthropology generally don’t know those facts about average brain volume in different populations. Some of those students stumbled onto claims about such differences and emailed a physical anthropologist I know, asking if those differences really exist. He tells them ‘yep’ - I’m not sure what happens next. Most likely they keep their mouths shut. Ain’t it great, living in a free country?
1) Scientific American posted a story about brain size having a slight correlation to intelligence in 2016, so no, this information is not so taboo that you’ll be blackballed for discussing it 2) what will get you blackballed is what you say next. If you try to justify violence against anyone because of something as unreliable as brain size, you’re a scumbag. Intelligence is neither an excuse nor a justification for subjugation or oppression. This is even more unreliable when you try to equate brain size to skin color. At the end of the day, there’s nothing you can do with this information. It’s not substantial or reliable enough to use in any capacity and the things you’d try to use it for can still be opposed on moral or ethical grounds. 3) holy shit, I can’t believe I’m responding to a skull size person.
