The topic has moved on quite a bit since 2002 when Gould died. For instance: "Childhood intelligence is heritable, highly polygenic and associated with FNBP1L". Molecular Psychiatry (2013), 1–6. Lots more titles like that these days. It's not nature or nurture; it's a question of how much of each & the nature part is definitely significant. At the time, Gould's comments about intelligence were widely discussed and accepted in the popular press (NYT, NY Review of Books, etc.,) but subject to a lot of criticism in the science journals which did not get much coverage.
