The Logic of Life : A History of Heredity
“The most remarkable history of biology that has ever been written.”—Michel FoucaultNobel Prize–winning scientist François Jacob’s The Logic of Life is a landmark book in the history of biology and science.Focusing on heredity, which Jacob considers the fundamental feature of living things, he shows how, since the sixteenth century, the scientific understanding of inherited traits has moved not in a linear, progressive way, from error to truth, but instead through a series of frameworks.He reveals how these successive interpretive approaches—focusing on visible structures, internal structures (especially cells), evolution, genes, and DNA and other molecules—each have their own power but also limitations.Fundamentally challenging how the history of biology is told, much as Thomas Kuhn’s Structure of Scientific Revolutions did for the history of science as a whole, The Logic of Life has greatly influenced the way scientists and historians view the past, present, and future of biology.

The Heredity Hoax : Challenging Flawed Genetic Theories of Human Development
This innovative and thought-provoking book integrates both new, authored material and reprints of existing literature that, together, provide a compelling narrative that reveals the fatally flawed science associated with genetic reductionist accounts of human behavior and development. Through an interdisciplinary lens, it illuminates the dynamic nature of human development, empowering readers to question established notions, and embrace the complexity of our potential.Across the book, the work of top-tier scientists, from developmental, comparative, educational, and biological science illuminates theory and research converging on the conclusion that the multiple egregiously flawed work of genetic reductionists should be expunged from research pertinent to human development.The book challenges the prevailing reductionist narratives and their application to social policies, programs, and uses in media.Theoretically based and empirically rigorous, this multidisciplinary approach to human development will shine a light on the inequities in individuals or groups that suggest that specific genes do not enable them to succeed in life. The Heredity Hoax invites graduate programs and advanced undergraduate courses on human development, human potential, epigenetics, and more to delve into the intricate interplay between genes, environment, and personal growth.This will also serve as an unimpeachable source of evidence for researchers, educators, and social policymakers.

Genetics in the Madhouse : The Unknown History of Human Heredity
The untold story of how hereditary data in mental hospitals gave rise to the science of human heredityIn the early 1800s, a century before there was any concept of the gene, physicians in insane asylums began to record causes of madness in their admission books.Almost from the beginning, they pointed to heredity as the most important of these causes.Genetics in the Madhouse is the untold story of how the collection of hereditary data in asylums and prisons gave rise to a new science of human heredity.Theodore Porter looks at the institutional use of innovative quantitative practices—such as pedigree charts and censuses of mental illness—that were worked out in the madhouse long before the manipulation of DNA became possible in the lab.Genetics in the Madhouse brings to light the hidden history behind modern genetics and deepens our appreciation of the moral issues at stake in data work conducted at the border of subjectivity and science.

Does myopia increase through heredity?
Myopia, or nearsightedness, can be influenced by heredity. Research has shown that children with one or both parents who have myopia are more likely to develop myopia themselves. The risk of developing myopia increases if both parents are nearsighted. However, while heredity can play a role in the development of myopia, environmental factors such as excessive near work and lack of outdoor time also contribute to its progression. Therefore, it is important to consider both genetic and environmental factors when addressing myopia.

Is the development of neck muscles influenced by heredity?
Yes, the development of neck muscles can be influenced by heredity to some extent. Genetics play a role in determining an individual's muscle fiber composition, which can impact muscle strength and size. However, environmental factors such as exercise, diet, and overall lifestyle also play a significant role in the development of neck muscles. Ultimately, a combination of genetics and lifestyle factors will determine the overall strength and development of neck muscles.

Genetic Crossroads : The Middle East and the Science of Human Heredity
The Middle East plays a major role in the history of genetic science.Early in the twentieth century, technological breakthroughs in human genetics coincided with the birth of modern Middle Eastern nation-states, who proclaimed that the region's ancient history—as a cradle of civilizations and crossroads of humankind—was preserved in the bones and blood of their citizens.Using letters and publications from the 1920s to the present, Elise K.Burton follows the field expeditions and hospital surveys that scrutinized the bodies of tribal nomads and religious minorities.These studies, geneticists claim, not only detect the living descendants of biblical civilizations but also reveal the deeper past of human evolution. Genetic Crossroads is an unprecedented history of human genetics in the Middle East, from its roots in colonial anthropology and medicine to recent genome sequencing projects.It illuminates how scientists from Turkey to Yemen, Egypt to Iran, transformed genetic data into territorial claims and national origin myths.Burton shows why such nationalist appropriations of genetics are not local or temporary aberrations, but rather the enduring foundations of international scientific interest in Middle Eastern populations to this day.

She Has Her Mother's Laugh : The Story of Heredity, Its Past, Present and Future
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2018 BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NON-FICTIONShe Has Her Mother’s Laugh presents a profoundly original perspective on what we pass along from generation to generation.Charles Darwin played a crucial part in turning heredity into a scientific question, and yet he failed spectacularly to answer it.The birth of genetics in the early 1900s seemed to do precisely that.Gradually, people translated their old notions about heredity into a language of genes.As the technology for studying genes became cheaper, millions of people ordered genetic tests to link themselves to missing parents, to distant ancestors, to ethnic identities . . . But, award-winning science writer Carl Zimmer argues, heredity isn’t just about genes that pass from parent to child.Heredity continues within our own bodies, as a single cell gives rise to trillions of cells that make up our bodies.We say we inherit genes from our ancestors but we inherit other things that matter as much or more to our lives, from microbes to technologies we use to make life more comfortable.We need a new definition of what heredity is and, through Carl Zimmer’s lucid exposition and storytelling, this resounding tour de force delivers it. Weaving together historical and current scientific research, his own experience with his two daughters, and the kind of original reporting expected of one of the world’s best science journalists, Zimmer ultimately unpacks urgent bioethical quandaries arising from new biomedical technologies, but also long-standing presumptions about who we really are and what we can pass on to future generations.
