Here is one guys opinion: http://infoproc.blogspot.com/2015/05/fifty-years-of-twin-stu...

>The most interesting aspect of these results is that for many traits there is no detectable non-additivity. That is, gene-gene interactions seem to be insignificant, and a simple linear genetic architecture is consistent with the results.

We already knew this sort of from animal studies and evolutionary theory. But it's interesting to see it confirmed in humans.

The implications of this, is that it will be very easy to predict phenotypes from genetics. We don't need to model complicated interactions between genes like many people thought, and can simply take the genes that correlate the most with a desired trait.

This means you could do a large enough study and find every gene that correlates with intelligence, and create the optimal combination. Creating humans orders of magnitudes more intelligent than any human who has ever lived.

Thanks! That is interesting. I would love to see that happen -- even if there are ethical issues to consider. Maybe we can start by making the most genetically intelligent rabbits or something.
