Suppose that a team of researchers analyzes the heritability of high SAT scores and assigns a heritability of 0.75 for this ability. The team also determines that a certain ethnic group has a heritability value that is 0.12 lower compared with that of other ethnic groups. The group concludes that there must be a genetic explanation for the differences in scores. Why is this an invalid conclusion?
