Responds to the initial article in this issue that proposes a set of 22 statements on the nature and origin of human abilities, gifts, and talents. Argues that a comprehensive rationale is missing, particularly an explanation of developmental mechanisms, of learning processes, and of the dynamics of gene/environment interaction. (Author/CR)
