eBook Spotlight: "Ancestral Genomics" by Constance Hilliard

Did you know Bastyr Libraries has over 300 eBooks? Check out this eBook by Constance Hilliard, and browse the rest of our eBooks on the library catalog page!

Summary: "Race is a social reality, not a biological one. Yet African Americans are poorly served by even advanced genetic medicine because it is built on European DNA. Constance Hilliard explores the benefits and drawbacks of racial heuristics in medicine and argues for nonessentializing methods of harnessing genomic science on behalf of people of color."
