Genetic and Environmental Influences on Longitudinal Trajectories of Functional Biological Age: Comparisons Across Gender.

abstract：:A recent controversy has given reason to examine the place of Burt's data among other behavioral genetic data on IQ. Although Burt's kinship correlations are higher than the average of other studies, his results are generally consistent with other data. ...
