Abstract
Harris’s The Nature Assumption (1998) challenged the then-common belief that the non-genetic factor is the family (parental) environment or nurture. Nurture is not synonymous with environment, she argued. This argument has taken off and generated a large body of research, which, 20 years after the appearance of Harris’s book, was labeled as the inquiry into genetic nurturance (Kong et al., 2018). This article briefly describes the major concepts and premises underlying this field of inquiry. Just like Harris did in her book, it starts with a brief overview of current family-based quasi-experimental designs used for studying genetic nurturance. It then provides an update on several recent reviews of genetic nurturance research. It closes with a discussion of the significance of the research on genetic nurturance and the role Harris’s insight of 20 years ago played in it.
