  11. I know there are a lot of issues surrounding heritability these days, but
  12. I'm going to ask a question about it anyway.  I'm finding rather large
  13. differences in heritability between boys and girls, and the natural question
  14. is are the heritability differences meaningful?  Is anyone aware of any tests
  15. of heritability differences.  Does anyone know of distributional assumption,
  16. etc. of heritability estimates?  Does anyone have any references to the topic
  17. of significance testing of heritability?  Thanks in advance.
