... the U.S. Health and Retirement Study. This innovative methodological approach allows us to provide the first estimates of the heritability of composite life course outcomes—that is, sequence complexity. We demonstrate that a number of family demographic indicators (e.g., the age at first birth and first...

Second, heritability estimates can change over remarkably short periods of time because of increases in germ cell mutations. Third, social demographic change can yield genetic changes that, at the population level...

The previous sections showed that the squared z score vPGS, in particular, is highly correlated with levels of an outcome and that the vPGS is the only measure to produce estimates that are precise enough to examine heritabilities and genetic correlations. Yet, the noisiness of the vPGS...

Many behavioral geneticists have advanced the thesis that a higher genetic heritability of education (i.e., the proportion of variation in education within a population that is a result of genetic differences between individuals) is indicative...
