A doutriua do ADN, a bioloxía como ideología

Synopsis of A doutriua do ADN, a bioloxía como ideología

This book examines the manifestations of modern scientific ideology and the wrong paths to which it has led us. It considers how biological determinism has been used to explain and justify inequalities within and between societies, affirming the immutability of such inequalities. It explores how a theory of human nature has been developed using Darwin's theory of natural selection to claim that social organization is also unalterable because it is natural. In addition, it examines how economic relations, disguised as natural facts, can guide the direction of biological and technological research. Translated from English and with notes by Fernando Vázquez Corredoira and Salvador Mourelo Peres.
