Why twin studies really don't tell us much about human heritability

The derivation of heritability from human twin studies involves serious met hodological flaws. Heritability is consistently overestimated because of bi ological confounds of twinning, consistent and often gross underestimation of the environmental variance: and nonadditive genetic influences that can hugely exaggerate heritability values. Despite this bad research design, be haviour geneticists continue to publish results implying that their heritab ility results are valid.
