The Genome Factor by Dalton Conley
For a century, social scientists have avoided genetics like the plague. But the nature-nurture wars are over. In the past decade, a small but intrepid group of economists, political scientists, and sociologists have harnessed the genomics revolution to paint a more complete picture of human social life than ever before. The Genome Factor describes
"Too often, the debate over the ethics of genomics takes place behind closed doors--among scientists, doctors and government officialsMembers of the general public are left out or treated as an afterthought rather than placed at the center of the conversation. Scientific research is crucial, but the moral dilemmas raised by The Genome Factor belong to us all."--Amy Dockser Marcus, Wall Street Journal "A fresh look at the nature vs. nurture debate... Illuminating."--Kirkus
