I'm glad someone I follow online actually took the time to turn their forensic glare on the pseudoscience of "genetics" and dismantle it in writing. And what a fine read The Genetic Deception is. 👍📜
One of my favorite pastimes is taking swipes at viroLIEgy, but exposing genetics actually eviscerates that forlorn field:
you can't have an "intracellular obligate parasite consisting of either a DNA or an RNA genome enclosed within a proteinaceous capsid" 🧥 when neither of those two fictions 🧬 has ever been proven to exist. 😂
For the complete, superbly written demolition job of the questionable "science" of genetics 🙅🧬🙅 I highly recommend The Genetic Deception by Unbekoming.
Down's Syndrome. That now makes sense. My brother in-law was the 4th and last child in my husband's family. Declared Down's. Attributed to the increased risk of a late pregnancy (40). However, the terrain was a Rhodesian tobacco farm... therefore, the annual applications of the infamous 3 - NPK - on the fields plus dollops of lethal Dow chemicals to the seedlings. So Pete's in utero environment was that of a woman exposed to that stuff for some 15 years (and his father?)
Another aspect that the genetics-are-everthing people also miss is the gut microbiota, which tends to have strong family similarities. The gut microbiome is increasingly being implicated in many diseases.
The Genetic Deception sounds like a great book! I immediately thought of others who would benefit by reading it. With Christmas coming up shortly, it would be a very valuable gift to give to loved ones.
