Ancestral Genomics: African American Health in the Age of Precision Medicine

Ancestral Genomics

African American Health in the Age of Precision Medicine

2024 • 209 pages

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.
