유전에 관한 생각의 뭉치의 파노라마 슈타판 뮐러빌레, 한스외르크 라인베르거 저, 현재환 역, 『유전의 문화사』 (부산 : 부산대학교출판문화원, 2022)

This book review examines A Cultural History of Heredity as a historical account of the development of a body of thought that the authors refer to as “biological hereditarian thinking” in Europe and North America during the long 19th and 20th centuries. Rather than a standard history of modern genetics, the book, as the title properly suggests, introduces and connects various ideas about heredity. The aim of this review is to simplify the complex historical time frame and highlight some of the main themes and lines of thinking to make this masterpiece more accessible to life and medical scientists. In other words, this review seeks to provide an epistemological typology of heredity.
