One of my favourite papers discusses this (and more):
> Top 10 Replicated Findings from Behavioral Genetics
> 1. All psychological traits show significant and substantial genetic influence
> 2. No traits are 100% heritable
> 3. Heritability is caused by many genes of small effect
> 4. Phenotypic correlations between psychological traits show significant and substantial genetic mediation
> 5. The heritability of intelligence increases throughout development (from 41% (age 9) to 55% (age 12) and to 66% (age 17); "unlike the other findings, this one is limited to a specific domain")
> 6. Age-to-age stability is mainly due to genetics
> 7. Most measures of the ‘environment’ show significant genetic influence
> 8. Most associations between environmental measures and psychological traits are significantly mediated genetically
> 9. Most environmental effects are not shared by children growing up in the same family
