504    Includes bibliographical references and index 
520    "A provocative and timely case for how the science of 
       genetics can help create a more just and equal society. In
       recent years, scientists like Kathryn Paige Harden have 
       shown that DNA makes us different, in our personalities 
       and in our health-and in ways that matter for educational 
       and economic success in our current society. In The 
       Genetic Lottery, Harden introduces readers to the latest 
       genetic science, dismantling dangerous ideas about racial 
       superiority and challenging us to grapple with what 
       equality really means in a world where people are born 
       different. Weaving together personal stories with 
       scientific evidence, Harden shows why our refusal to 
       recognize the power of DNA perpetuates the myth of 
       meritocracy, and argues that we must acknowledge the role 
       of genetic luck if we are ever to create a fair 
       society.Reclaiming genetic science from the legacy of 
       eugenics, this groundbreaking book offers a bold new 
       vision of society where everyone thrives, regardless of 
       how one fares in the genetic lottery"
