Abstract Families transmit genes and environments across generations. When parents'
genetics affect their children's environments, these two modes of inheritance can produce an …

Observed genetic associations with educational attainment may be due to direct or indirect
genetic influences. Recent work highlights genetic nurture, the potential effect of parents' …

For decades, geneticists and social scientists have relied on sibling correlations as
indicative of the effects of genes and environment on behavioral traits and socioeconomic …
