      abstract = {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.  This book is a translation of the original German 2nd  edition Erblichkeit der Intelligenz 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 the  development of tools for the production of books and on the  related technologies to support the authors. The Content  "Heritability" depends on environment Biological limits of  promotion IQ differences between groups Who has "good  genes"? What the heritability model says about equal  opportunity The target groups Lecturers and students of  education, psychology and biology Teachers, psychologists,  biologists The Authors Prof. Dr. Karl-Friedrich Fischbach  is a developmental biologist and neurogeneticist. He was  Professor of Biophysics and Molecular Biology at the  University of Freiburg from 1985 to 2013, including two  years as Executive Director of the Institute of Biology  III. Martin Niggeschmidt is an editor in Hamburg},
