Heritability is often misunderstood

The relationship between heritability and response to the environment is complicated. Heritability is the proportion of variation in a population due to genetic differences between people.

People often misinterpret heritable as 'genetically determined and unmodifiable by the environment.' But it doesn't mean that. Genetic studies that ignore the environment and only look for the main effects of genes require sample sizes above one million people. Adding gene-by-environment interaction, the problems get even bigger.
