"I share with other behavior geneticists... the position that parents in most working-to professional-class families may have little influence on what traits their children will eventually develop as adults. Moreover, I seriously doubt that good child-rea aring practices can greatly reduce an undesirable trait's prevalence, whether it be low IQ, criminality, or any other trait of social concern."
