Excellent- More about Genetic Lottery: Why DNA Matters for Social Equality
The Genetic Lottery is a book that argues that DNA makes us different and that we must acknowledge the role of genetic luck if we are to create a fair society. It weaves together personal stories with scientific evidence to show why our refusal to recognize the power of DNA perpetuates the myth of meritocracy and offers a bold new vision of society where everyone thrives, regardless of how one fares in the genetic lottery.

In her book, The Genetic Lottery, Harden delves into the latest genetic science, debunking harmful notions of racial superiority and prompting us to contemplate the true meaning of equality in a world where individuals are born with distinct differences.
