The Genetic Lottery

Kathryn Harden

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

Greg Mankiw loved it
The Genetic Lottery by Kathryn Harden is one of the best books I've read in the past several years. It offers a clear and smart discussion of the current state of behavioral genetics and what it means--and, equally important, what it doesn't mean--for public policy.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
