The Social Genome

For years the question of nature vs. nurture has been at the heart of human science. In The Social Genome (W.W. Norton) Conley argues that this focus is misguided as both nature and nurture interact in each individual. With today’s advancement in science, a child’s weight, height, expected education level, and more can be predicted using their DNA. Conley takes this as evidence to show the ways genes shape our world and hopes to inspire others as he looks to the future of the sociogenomic revolution.
