On the genetic architecture of intelligence and other quantitative traits
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This paper reviews research suggesting that intelligence is largely heritable and polygenic, meaning many genes contribute. It also proposes theoretical models, including a nonlinear one using Compressed Sensing, to predict intelligence from DNA and speculates about future applications like embryo selection.

Just like height, our genes play a big role in how smart we are, and we can probably predict intelligence from DNA in the future.

Explicación de la calificación
This paper provides a thought-provoking overview of the genetic basis of intelligence and introduces interesting theoretical ideas, but it lacks strong empirical evidence. The author is a physicist, which could explain the emphasis on theoretical modeling.
