Stalkers, twins, and the case of the missing heritability | Dalton Conley | TEDxUNC

In his TEDxUNC 2015 talk, Dalton Conley's story explores what we need to succeed and what assembly is required in order to do well in school or the workplace. He discusses his research that focuses on the factors that allow some people to succeed while others, perhaps even in the same family, fail.
Dalton Conley is a New York University professor of Sociology and a leading researcher with a focus on racial inequalities, measurements of class, and how health and biology affect - and are affected by - social position. His work was inspired by his own childhood, growing up as the “lone white kid” among the black gangs of New York’s Lower East Side.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Bioinformatician here, I find it useful. This analysis (done with "I am going to prove the whole field wrong" attitude) motivates me to continue the search of components of missing heritability.

Ran into this video from a Sociology course!! … love to question the norm and dive deep into the causality of how our society functions. Very interesting stuff

This is real guys. It’s called the missing heritability problem.

I've been reading into the Race and IQ controversary and ran into this argument a few times.
From what I understand, Missing Heritability can be largely explained by rare variants which will be found as more studies with whole-genome sequencing are done.
Most genetic studies on IQ use SNPs and common variants
