From Wikipedia
Hereditarianism is the view that heredity plays a central role in determining human nature and character traits, such as intelligence and personality. Hereditarians believe in the power of genetic influences to explain human behavior and solve human social-political problems. They stress the value of evolutionary explanations in all areas of the human sciences. Most prominently in intelligence research, proponents argue that genetic predisposition determines individual life outcomes more than do either structured environmental influences (i.e. nurture) or developmental noise. On the other hand, the idea that genetic predisposition determines differences in life outcomes between racial groups –– sometimes termed racial hereditarianism –– is rejected by mainstream science on empirical and methodological grounds, and considered a form of scientific racism.
