The Epistemology of Frozen Peas
Tangled Diagnoses
Reviewed by: Tangled Diagnoses: Prenatal Testing, Women, and Risk by Ilana Löwy Susan Lindee Ilana Löwy. Tangled Diagnoses: Prenatal Testing, Women, and Risk. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2018. 319 pp. Ill. $37.50 (978-0-226-53409-1). In this brilliant study, Ilana Löwy compares the story of contemporary prenatal diagnosis (PND) to “a classic detective story in which each protagonist attempts to hide something” (p. 212). Nearly all stake…
Evolution Made to Order
The United States has often historically embraced the power and importance of “innovation,” valuing newness regardless of genuine social benefits or costs. If something is new, this thinking generally goes, it is improved. Helen Anne Curry's study of plant breeding puts this idea of novelty and its intrinsic, self-evident value at the center of her analysis. She considers the strange, lively history of technological systems of plant breeding that…

In this article, I reflect on the Radiation Effects Research Foundation and its ongoing studies of long-term radiation risk. Originally called the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (1947-1975), the Radiation Effects Research Foundation has carried out epidemiological research tracking the biomedical effects of radiation at Hiroshima and Nagasaki for almost 70 years. Radiation Effects Research Foundation scientists also played a key role in the asse…
Patrons of the Human Experience
The Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research has played a critical but little-understood role in the development of the social and biological sciences since 1941. For anthropology particularly, its programs have often helped redefine scholarly priorities and research trajectories. Its grants to doctoral students have functioned as an important early sign of scholarly legitimacy, a mark of belonging to the profession. The foundation's h…
Human genetics after the bomb
Scaling up
Varieties of the Primitive
In recent years, anthropologists, science scholars, and historians of science have shown growing interest in the history of research in physical anthropology in the post-World War II period, although most of the studies concentrate on North America and Europe. Here we focus on the history of human biological diversity research in South America in the 1960s. We carry out a comparative analysis of the research programs coordinated by two influentia…
Commentary
The emergence of an environmentally oriented public health model of genomics, chronicled so adroitly in the essays collected here, might almost be seen as a return to origins: Scientific human genetics in the decades after 1945 engaged in epidemiological risk assessment relevant to public health and state order and garnered significant public support based not on the discovery of individual disease genes (though this occurred) but on its profound…
The Biological Anthropology of Living Human Populations
We introduce a special issue of Current Anthropology developed from a Wenner-Gren symposium held in Teresópolis, Brazil, in 2010 that was about the past, present, and future of biological anthropology. Our goal was to understand from a comparative international perspective the contexts of genesis and development of physical/biological anthropology around the world. While biological anthropology today can encompass paleoanthropology, primatology, …

Science, Politics, and the Pharmaceutical Industry
Drug disasters from Thalidomide to Opren, and other less dramatic cases of drug injury, raise questions about whether the testing and control of medicines provides satisfactory protection for the public. In this revealing study, John Abrahan develops a theoretically challenging realist approach, in order to probe deeply into the work of scientists in the pharmaceutical industry and governmental drug regulatory authorities on both sides of the Atl…
