Exploding the gene myth : How genetic information is produced and manipulated by scientists, physicians, employers, insurance companies, education, and law enforcers

by Ruth Hubbard, Elijah Wald

This book challenges genetic determinism, arguing that claims linking genes to complex human behaviours and illnesses are exaggerated. It analyses how genetic testing impacts privacy, employment, and healthcare, advocating for a focus on social and environmental solutions.
