Description

This scholarly collection examines how human heredity was understood between the end of the First World War and the early 1970s, a pivotal period of scientific and social transformation. The essays explore the complex interaction of science, medicine, and society in shaping heredity perspectives across the world during the politically turbulent twentieth century. Contributors analyse how medical understanding, cultural attitudes, and historical events influenced theories of inheritance and genetic thought during these formative decades. The book provides valuable insight into how hereditary concepts developed alongside advances in medical knowledge and evolved in response to major twentieth-century upheavals. Published by Routledge as part of their Studies for the Society for the Social History of Medicine series, this volume is essential reading for historians of medicine, science scholars, and anyone interested in how medical understanding of heredity transformed throughout the modern era.
