But the nature-nurture wars are over. In the past decade, a small but intrepid group of economists, political scientists, and sociologists have harnessed the genomics revolution to paint a more complete picture of human social life than ever before. The Genome Factor describes the latest astonishing discoveries being made at the scientific frontier where genomics and the social sciences intersect.The Genome Factor reveals that there are real genetic differences by racial ancestry-but ones that don't conform to what we call black, white, or Latino. Genes explain a significant share of who gets ahead in society and who does not, but instead of giving rise to a genotocracy, genes often act as engines of mobility that counter social disadvantage. An increasing number of us are marrying partners with similar education levels as ourselves, but genetically speaking, humans are mixing it up more than ever before with respect to mating and reproduction. These are just a few of the many findings presented in this illuminating and entertaining book, which also tackles controversial topics such as genetically personalized education and the future of reproduction in a world where more and more of us are taking advantage of cheap genotyping services like 23andMe to find out what our genes may hold in store for ourselves and our children.The Genome Factor shows how genomics is transforming the social sciences-and how social scientists are integrating both nature and nurture into a unified, comprehensive understanding of human behavior at both the individual and society-wide levels. 606 $aEquality 606 $aGenomics$xSocial aspects 606 $aHeredity, Human$xSocial aspects 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General$2bisacsh 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aGenomics$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aHeredity, Human$xSocial aspects. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General. 676 $a576.5 686 $aSOC026000$aSCI029000$aSOC057000$2bisacsh 700 $aConley$b Dalton, $01248989 702 $aFletcher$b Jason, 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163958103321 996 $aThe Genome Factor$92894568 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01019nam a2200253 i 4500 001 991002697749707536 005 20020503172438.0 008 990211s1993 ro ||| | ||| 035 $ab10401866-39ule_inst 035 $aEXGIL108297$9ExL 040 $aBiblioteca Interfacoltà$bita 100 1 $aTenchea, Maria$0467994 245 10$aEtudes de linguistique et de littérature /$c[publication coordonnée par Maria Tenchea] 260 $aTimisoara :$bUniversitatea din Timisoara,$c1993 300 $a230 p. ;$c24 cm. 500 $aIn testa al front.: Université de Timisoara, Faculté des lettres, Department de langues romanes. 650 4$aLetteratura 650 4$aLinguistica 907 $a.b10401866$b02-04-14$c27-06-02 912 $a991002697749707536 945 $aLE002 Lett.
