Well what defines your definition of science, if one was to create an hypothesis about consciousness would it become science? Or am I missing the the picture

>genetically heritable

All heritability is genetic.
Heritability is defined as the ammount of variation corresponding to genetic difference out of total variation.

Wearing dresses, like IQ test performance, is a highly heritable behavior, because only girls do it, and this it corresponds strongly to a genetic difference (different sex chromosomes).

It never used to be heritable, because before pants, all humans wore open-bottom clothing (tunics).

A change in technology turned it into something highly heritable, where it once wasnt. Genes didnt cause any of that. Evolution wasnt necessary. It was just covariance. Thats all heritability indicates.

If you want to know whether the genes influenced the difference, you actually have to understand how the genes translate into proteins and influence the phenotype.

It's amazing how many fagboats confuse heritable qith genetically caused.
