Rose's ancient paper is balderdash and wrong and even Turkheimer wouldn't agree with his claims now. Heritability has been repeatedly vindicated empirically as a guideline to selective breeding, GWAS power and results, genetic correlations, evolutionary development of traits and split between additive & epistasis variance based on selective pressures, and so on. Even human sperm donor donations affect height of offspring exactly as predicted by the breeder's equation - which rests entirely on the concept of heritability! The results of projects like UK Biobank and SSGAC have been a vindication of the entire behavioral genetics research programme, not any kind of refutation.
