Scientists Tie 52 Genes to Human Intelligence
Last week I read an [article][0] critiquing Charles Murray's work, largely in response to a [podcast][1] he did with Sam Harris. One of the assertions in the article was:<p>> There are no “genes for” IQ in any but the very weakest sense.<p>I'm not super knowledgeable about this stuff. I'm not trying to kick a hornet's nest; just trying to point out how I found this news to be particularly relevant in light of what I'd been reading recently. I'd be interested in seeing the Vox article's authors would fit this news into their thesis.<p>[0]: <a href="https://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2017/5/18/15655638/charles-murray-race-iq-sam-harris-science-free-speech" rel="nofollow">https://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2017/5/18/15655638/charles-...</a>
