We discuss the impact of gene-editing techniques on science and society. We go through two examples of historical events that shaped population genetics and inequality, including the European colonization of the Americas and the slave trade across the Atlantic, and the Mongol empire.
We talk about archaeology patrilocality and high female mobility a gender bias in reproduction and mating systems (polygyny and monogamy). We discuss if the concept of “race” makes sense in genetics. We discuss sexual selection and assortative mating if inequality is the result of individual traits or social structures unequal patterns of reproduction and the transition from foraging to agriculture. We get into the scientific tools we can use to study inequality in the past.
We start by talking about the premise of the book, and the current state of global inequality, with its social and political consequences. He is the author of Inequality: A Genetic History.
