The classic example is height: in times of plenty, 100% of variability in height is inherited, in times of famine, almost 0% is. Heritability is not a property of the trait alone. | |

Or vice versa, when nurture is the same, and there is a similarity between non-related people, it is more likely to be an effect of nurture. But that all works only for larger selections. Two persons are not enough, for sure. | |

| Sep 27, 2018 at 21:32 | comment | added | Borbei | Thanks! That's interesting. So would it be fair to summarize what is known on nature vs. nurture by "the only effect of the environment is in making siblings more different; basically never more similar"? Parents contribute only noise, without any signal? :) | |
