Arbitration Ruling on Race and Intelligence The article Hereditarianism, along with other articles relating to the area of conflict (namely, the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour, broadly construed), is currently subject to active arbitration remedies, described in a 2010 Arbitration Committee case where the articulated principles included:

middle position edit
A middle position argues that an organism inherits only alleles, and that the interaction of alleles with environment creates phenotypes.
This should not necessarily be called a middle position. See Nature versus nurture. There are instances where it is obviously wrong (Nature_vs_nurture#Uncomplicated_cases).
So, we should reword that. --Rikurzhen 20:58, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
scope edit
the scope of hereditarianism is broader than intelligence, and it could be called a side in the nature vs nurture debate. for example, personality is a stronger case for the hereditarian position than intelligence is. Also, people like Steven Pinker or Noam Chomsky could be classified as hereditarians. --Rikurzhen 21:00, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
neo-Darwinians edit
there's an obvious overlap between the neo-Darwinians and the hereditarians. someone has probably commented on this. --Rikurzhen 21:36, August 6, 2005 (UTC)

- Per WP:CATV, we need a source for that. The article also is not too clear on what the term actually means. That "nature" plays a role in terms of nature and nurture is not pseudoscience, but some things called hereditarianism may be, especially a "nature-only" perspective. In any case, a source would be needed. Crossroads -talk- 23:09, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
