书籍简介

近年来，像凯瑟琳-佩吉-哈登这样的科学家表明，DNA使我们在性格和健康方面有所不同，而且在我们当前的社会中对教育和经济成功至关重要。在《基因彩票》中，哈登向读者介绍了新的遗传科学，瓦解了关于种族优越性的危险想法，并挑战我们在一个人们生而不同的世界中努力探索平等的真正含义。哈登将个人故事与科学证据交织在一起，展示了为什么我们拒绝承认DNA的力量会延续任人唯贤的神话，并认为如果我们要创造一个公平的社会，我们就要承认遗传运气的作用。

这本开创性的书将遗传科学从优生学的遗产中解放出来，提供了一个大胆的社会新愿景，在这个社会中，无论一个人在遗传彩票中的表现如何，每个人都能蓬勃发展。

A provocative and timely case for how the science of genetics can help create a more just and equal societyIn recent years, scientists like Kathryn Paige Harden have shown that DNA makes us different, in our personalities and in our health-and in ways that matter for educational and economic success in our current society. In The Genetic Lottery, Harden introduces readers to the latest genetic science, dismantling dangerous ideas about racial superiority and challenging us to grapple with what equality really means in a world where people are born different. Weaving together personal stories with scientific evidence, Harden shows why our refusal to recognize the power of DNA perpetuates the myth of meritocracy, and argues that we must acknowledge the role of genetic luck if we are ever to create a fair society.

Reclaiming genetic science from the legacy of eugenics, this groundbreaking book offers a bold new vision of society where everyone thrives, regardless of how one fares in the genetic lottery.
