Situated at the intersection of natural science and philosophy, Our
Genes explores historical practices, investigates current trends,
and imagines future work in genetic research to answer persistent,
political questions about human diversity. Readers are guided
through fascinating thought experiments, complex measures and
metrics, fundamental evolutionary patterns, and in-depth treatment
of exciting case studies. The work culminates in a philosophical
rationale, based on scientific evidence, for a moderate position
about the explanatory power of genes that is often left
unarticulated. Simply put, human evolutionary genomics - our genes
- can tell us much about who we are as individuals and as
collectives. However, while they convey scientific certainty in the
popular imagination, genes cannot answer some of our most important
questions. Alternating between an up-close and a zoomed-out focus
on genes and genomes, individuals and collectives, species and
populations, Our Genes argues that the answers we seek point to
rich, necessary work ahead.
