Document Summary
Heritability, genetic determinism, iq, sex, criminality & racism: when behaviour genetics is mixed with the dark side of political motivation, the story of glayde whitney and james watson. If we know about their effects and if we study how they exert them, then we can design (cid:862)e(cid:374)(cid:448)iro(cid:374)(cid:373)e(cid:374)tal(cid:863) progra(cid:373)s to (cid:272)ircumvent, augment, improve on their effects. Mendel publishes his work on the nature of inheritance. Avery, mcleod & mccarty: genetic information is in the dna. Watson & crick model the structure of dna. Brenner and jacob identify the role of mrna. Nirenberg, kohana & matthei: 3 letter code of dna genetic code. Sanger, maxam and gilbert publish dna sequencing methods.
