Genetics is more important than any other variable.

Study linked along with image, it shows how much of a test score can be linked to genetics.

The contribution of genetics towards explaining cognitive abilities is well studied. What the study in the opening post talks about is filling that information in with specifics. So we already know a majority of cognitive ability is determined by genetics. What we are learning now is what the specific genes and genetic regions are.

So basically the 5% and other % figures you see are like a loading bar filling up towards the overall 40-80% of genetic contribution. The numbers will only continue to go up as the holes go up.
