G is for Genes shows how a dialogue between geneticists and
educationalists can have beneficial results for the education of all
children—and can also benefit schools, teachers, and society at
large. Draws on behavioral genetic research from around the world,
including the UK-based Twins’ Early Development Study (TEDS), one of
the largest twin studies in the world Offers a unique viewpoint by
bringing together genetics and education, disciplines with a
historically difficult relationship Shows that genetic influence is
not the same as genetic determinism and that the environment matters
at least as much as genes Designed to spark a public debate about what
naturally-occurring individual differences mean for education and
equality
