The trends in topics that have been published in the journal reflect the history of the discipline of genetics. [1] Early issues included many papers on eugenics, particularly under the editorial leadership of the journal's first two editors-in-chief, Paul Popenoe and R. C. Cook. Emphasis on eugenics in the journal declined throughout the 1940s and 1950s as support for the topic waned in the ...
A 2021 study that examined over 11,000 papers from 1949 to 2018 in The American Journal of Human Genetics, found that "race" was used in only 5% of papers published in the last decade, down from 22% in the first. Together with an increase in use of the terms "ethnicity," "ancestry," and location-based terms, it suggests that human geneticists ...
Genetics is a monthly scientific journal publishing investigations bearing on heredity, genetics, biochemistry and molecular biology. Genetics is published by the Genetics Society of America . It has a delayed open access policy, and makes articles available online without a subscription after 12 months have elapsed since first publication.
Skepticism towards the validity of scientific racism grew during the interwar period, [10] and by the end of World War II, scientific racism in theory and action was formally denounced, especially in UNESCO's early antiracist statement, "The Race Question" (1950): "The biological fact of race and the myth of 'race' should be distinguished. For ...
Genomic research has been predominantly based upon DNA samples with European heritage, which fails to holistically and accurately describe the complexity of all people's genetics. [80] Other confounding factors related to diversity such as age, gender, or socioeconomic status may also influence genetic discrimination in addition to race. [75]
Genetics Research is an open access, peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of human and animal genetics, reporting key findings on genomes, genes, mutations and molecular interactions, extending out to developmental, evolutionary, and population genetics as well as ethical, legal and social aspects.
It was the most prominent institution for the study of "racial science" in Sweden. [1] It was located in Uppsala. In 1958, it was renamed to the State Institute for Human Genetics [2] (Institutionen för medicinisk genetik) and is today incorporated as a department of Uppsala University. The institute's first head was Herman Lundborg. [3]
At that time the debate was largely semantic, stemming from their different ideas about what race is and how it would be manifested in humans genetics. [6] [7] The evidence that was available to Livingstone and Dobzhansky was mostly limited to qualitative observations of phenotypes thought to express genetic variation (e.g. skin colour). [6]
