Heredity or Environment?

The article discusses books and authors. No problem could ultimately be more important in its beating on the future of mankind than that of the relative roles of heredity and environment, yet its discussion is honeycombed with ignorance, fallacies, and prejudices. In "The Biological Basis of Human Nature," author H.S. Jennings broadly speaking, avers that both hereditarians and environmentalists are right in what they assert, wrong in what they deny. But the problem is far more involved than the usual discussions indicate. There are first the complications introduced by the fact that human beings are biparental.
