An anthropologist, a geneticist, a philosopher and a historian of science walk into a bar ... OK, bad joke. We review a “The Genetic Lottery” by @kph3k in @lareviewofbooks. 1/10 lareviewofbooks.org/article/why-dn…
TLDR: At best, the book is willfully naive. At worst, it elides the role of power in social inequality and misrepresents the current science of polygenic risk scores.
