I Got it From EuGENE! Discussing The Gene by Siddhartha Mukherjee - Part 1

How many times have you heard/read this before: 'Look, I know it's not politically correct to say this about X, but this is what the science says.'

Well, what does the science say? Turns out, a lot of things, Whether we're talking about gender, race or identity, nuances are a big thing. And as Siddhartha Mukherjee highlights in his book, our understanding on such topics has been distorted in the past by both prejudices and people just doing bad science (looking at you, Galton!)
