More interesting than the media reports were the letters we received
from Science readers. Harvard University biologist Edward O. Wilson
wrote to Bouchard directly:The extraordinary effort and care you and your associates put into this
landmark study should remind all of the fundamental interest and importance,
and reasonableness, of genetic variation in human behavior, while silencing
all but the diehard critics, who would go down fighting even if you 
laid out the full nucleotide sequences with mathematically perfect forms of reaction.
