The Genetic Lottery: Why DNA Matters for Social Equality is a book by psychologist and behavior geneticist Kathryn Paige Harden, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. Published on September 21, 2021, by Princeton University Press , the book argues that human genetic variation needs to be acknowledged in order to create ...
An improvement in the survival lottery for the group must improve that for the gene for sufficient replication to occur. Dawkins argues qualitatively that the lottery for the gene is based upon a very long and broad record of events, and group advantages are usually too specific, too brief, and too fortuitous to change the gene lottery:
Genetic analysis can be used generally to describe methods both used in and resulting from the sciences of genetics and molecular biology, or to applications resulting from this research. Genetic analysis may be done to identify genetic/inherited disorders and also to make a differential diagnosis in certain somatic diseases such as cancer.
Blueprint: How DNA Makes Us Who We Are is a book by behavioral geneticist Robert Plomin, first published in 2018 by the MIT Press and Allen Lane.The book argues that genetic factors, and specifically variations in individuals' DNA, have a large effect on human psychological traits, accounting for approximately half of all variation in such traits.

[ 1 ] The book chronicles the history of the gene and genetic research, all the way from Aristotle to Crick , Watson and Franklin and then the 21st century scientists who mapped ...
Who We Are and How We Got Here is a 2018 book on the contribution of genome-wide ancient DNA research to human population genetics by the geneticist David Reich.He describes discoveries made by his group and others, based on analysis and comparison of ancient and modern DNA from human populations around the world.
“Lottery winners try to be fair and give money to each person, but it usually ends up in broken relationships and a lot of lost money.” Jeffrey Dampier was one such example. He won $20 million ...
The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection is a book by Ronald Fisher which combines Mendelian genetics with Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection, [1] with Fisher being the first to argue that "Mendelism therefore validates Darwinism" [2] and stating with regard to mutations that "The vast majority of large mutations are deleterious; small mutations are both far more frequent and more ...
