The myth of the DNA horoscope

We inherit two types of acid: the DNA in our cells and the myths in our minds. As revolutionary technologies like embryo selection and polygenic scores go mainstream, they collide with dangerous, age-old fictions about destiny and race. In this unique collaboration, a sociologist and a bioethicist reveal how these stories shape our world. What We Inherit offers an urgent roadmap for navigating a genomic future where biological molecules and social myths are inextricably linked.
