The essays in this collection examine how human heredity was understood between the end of the First World War and the early 1970s. The contributors explore the interaction of science, medicine and society in determining how heredity was viewed across the world during the politically turbulent years of the twentieth century.
'Along with an excellent introduction by the editors, there are sixteen chapters, distributed among five sections ... No serious student of heredity's long run should be without [it].' British Journal for the History of Science 'an intellectually provocative and theoretically inspiring book ... This volume makes an important contribution to our understanding of the history of human heredity.' Social History of Medicine 'These essays are critical reading for anyone interested in a real view of the erratic progression of science. All are engaging, well written, and profusely referenced.'
