By considering two traits passed through the male line of a particular family, Steve Jones shows us how heritability can be both useful and useless, and he explains how to determine a gene's purpose. This is an extract from a full Gresham Lecture ‘Nature, Nurture or Neither?’ presented by Professor Steven Jones. The full video and audio can be found on our website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/nature-nurture-or-neither-the-view-from-the-genes Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
