This Dredd Blog series began in 2015 with this statement:
"What your daddy and mommy were taught about genetics, like most oldskool mommy and daddy skoolin', is wrong.
Don't feel bad, Charles Darwin knew nothing of genes, yet said he knew all about how we got here.
He had a lot of genies to help, though.
But now, the age of conflating genies with genes is over, however, the new genetic reality is not yet catching on well enough.
So, today we will review the difference between the understanding during "early genetics" (The Eugenics Review Vols. 1 to 60; 1909 to 1968) with the current state of affairs for understanding genetics (The Uncertain Gene, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)."
(On The Origin of Genieology). Nine years later Nature published (It’s time to admit that genes are not the blueprint for life) which was written by a software engineer who is also a biologist (see first video below).
The previous post in this series is here.
It's a medical problem too: "How race became ubiquitous in medical decision-making tools" (Link).
