There has been left-wing eugenics in the past--we must reckon with it.

"even Karl Pearson, the eugenicist most in line with Harden’s definition of eugenics, is simplified through a twisting of sources in support of Harden’s monolith. Pearson is made static, an atemporal data point in Harden’s argument, rather than an example of the ways in which eugenics, like all things, changed over time."

Question: One definition of "social genomics" is "how everyday life circumstances influence human gene expression" (https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1004601) but the term is also used for the broader work of, eg, GWAS for gene effects on behavior. If behavior, rather than gene expression, is the dependent variable, is it still "social genomics"? Or, what is the term to describe this whole field of study, for intro level students? #sociogenomics #sociology
