The Genetic Lottery: Why DNA Matters for Social Equality
Description
Drawing on behavioral genetics, social science, and the latest research on human development, this book examines how inherited differences can influence education, health, income, and other life outcomes. It challenges the assumption that recognizing genetic variation must lead to biological determinism or social division, arguing instead for a more honest and equitable approach to inequality. Combining rigorous evidence with clear, accessible writing, it explores the ethical and political implications of genetics while making the case for social policies that expand opportunity and reduce the effects of chance.
