But some geneticists argue that the sample size remains too small, and intelligence too complex, for the study to produce any meaningful conclusions.
“If they think they’re likely to get much useful data out of this study, they’re almost certainly wrong,” geneticist Daniel MacArthur of the Massachusetts General Hospital told Nature.
