About this book

Kathryn Paige Harden considers the relationship between genetic differences and social equality. Beginning with everyday ideas of fairness and the unequal distribution of wealth, this nonfiction work connects DNA with debates about life chances, education and responsibility. Its two-part structure treats genetics and equality together, including discussion of ancestry, social environments and the distinction between difference and hierarchy.

Kathryn Paige Harden

The Genetic Lottery argues that genome-wide studies do show real genetic contributions to outcomes like years of schooling, and that people on the political left should engage with the finding rather than leave it to their opponents, because egalitarian policy built on a false premise will fail. Harden is a behaviour geneticist in Texas.
