[read more=’Read more’ less=’Read less’] My recent book Is Science Racist? (Polity Press, 2017) discusses the meaning of genetic differences among populations, and particularly their relationship to observed differences in health risks and behavior patterns. I have also written about the bio-ethical issues associated with taking genetic samples from indigenous peoples.
