"Harris's book is well-written, toughly argued, filled with telling anecdotes and biting wit. . . . Harris has collected an impressive set of examples and findings to fortify a position that is indeed novel in empirical investigations of 'human socialization.' . . . However, in my view, Harris's thesis is overstated, misleading, and potentially harmful. . . . Undoubtedly, psychological researchers inspired by Harris's book will seek evidence bearing on her thesis. We will learn from these studies; and some of us who have taken skeptical positions in this debate may have to acknowledge influences we hadn't sufficiently recognized."
  --Howard Gardner (psychology professor, Harvard Graduate School of Education), New York Review of Books, 11/5/98



"Independent scholar Judith Rich Harris . . . put forth a provocative hypothesis, based on behavioral genetic studies, that parents do not mold their children beyond the parental genetic contribution. The big socializers of children, she argued in The Nurture Assumption, are their peers. . . . Whatever the initial resistance to their ideas, individuals like Albert Einstein or Charles Darwin, Carol Gilligan or Judith Rich Harris, Marcel Proust or Martha Graham, come to exert an influence on a wide audience. Their names become known, their ideas spread, with or without public awareness of the identity of their creators."
  --Howard Gardner in Changing Minds, March 2004.
