No one yet understands the complex relationships between different genes, but Plomin points out that this is not necessary for predictive purposes. Polygenic testing, he says, comes up with heritability estimates that correspond to a whole range of physical and psychological traits.
After All (Cher and Peter Cetera song)
The larger the study group, the more accurate the predictions — and, as more and more people have their genome mapped, the study groups are growing all the time. Instead he prefers to stick with the environmental story , which is a far richer narrative, full of parental missteps, social maltreatment and educational neglect. I asked James what question he would put to Plomin.
When I told Plomin that I had consulted James for his opinion, he rolled his eyes. A further argument made in Blueprint is that even those effects that are environmental may also be genetically influenced. Instead, the socioeconomic status of parents might be viewed as a measure of their educational outcomes, which are heritable.

James believes that if, as a society, we accept the heritability argument, then it will lead to blaming the poor for their own plight and privileging the rich for their good fortune. The Guardian ran an editorial earlier this year in response to a paper that Plomin and others published in which they stated that: Eric Turkheimer, leader of the Genetics and Human Agency Project at the University of Virginia, wrote a critique of the paper in which he accused the authors of describing genetic effects that could just as well have been environmental. Asked if his findings support a rightwing, neo-Darwinian vision of society, Plomin responds: Rightwing values might lead someone to say that we should educate the best and forget the rest, but my view is that the intellectual capital of a society depends on the many not just the few.
If we do manage to iron out environmental differences, Plomin notes, we then have to accept the genetic differences that remain. Because, the more we reduce environmental differences, the more we highlight genetic differences. In other words, if we want equality of opportunity, then the price is having to acknowledge a genetically loaded inequality of outcome.
The psychologist believes that we have to go with the science, not settle on a story that suits our political sympathies. At the moment, mental health follows the classical medical model by diagnosing a disorder and then seeking to deal with its cause. But genetic research suggests there are no clear lines in mental disorders, rather a spectrum on which we are all genetically placed. The example that Plomin gives is depression. If, say, there were 1, DNA differences found between two control groups of depressed and non-depressed people, it might be that in the general population the average person would have of these depression-causing differences.
And many people far fewer. Those with the fewest would be at least risk of becoming depressed and those with the most, at the greatest risk.
You can ameliorate the symptoms, which is what they do now with schizophrenia. Such thinking will no doubt be anathema to the very large and growing psychotherapeutic community, but for anyone who is baffled by the seemingly arbitrary diagnoses that have long been a characteristic of mental health, it makes a certain sense. There is no footage of Cher and Cetera ever performing this song live together. Cher performed a solo version of the song during her Heart of Stone and Love Hurts tours.
She also performed it in her residency Cher at the Colosseum and her current Classic Cher tour.
These particular performances would accompany a video montage of Cher in film, which would start before the song begins. Since the early s, Peter Cetera has been performing "After All" during his live performances as a duet with female backing vocalists including Kim Keyes [10] Jamelle Fraley, [11] [12] and Tania Hancheroff. Filipino singers Martin Nievera and Vina Morales covered this song and their version was used as the theme song for the local soap opera series A Beautiful Affair.
