Series Studies in modern science, technology, and the environment
Studies in modern science, technology, and the environment.
Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index.
Contents pt. 1. Constructing heredity -- pt. 2. Reform eugenics.
Summary In the early twentieth century, arguments between "nature" and "nurture" pitted a rigid genetic determinism against the idea that genes were flexible and open to environmental change. This book tells the story of three Viennese biologists who sought to show how the environment could shape heredity through the impact of hormones and explores the dynamic of failure in science through both scientific and social lenses.
