Social science genetics is concerned with understanding whether, how and why genetic differences between human beings are linked to differences in behaviours and socioeconomic outcomes. Our review discusses the goals, methods, challenges and implications of this research endeavour. We survey how the recent developments in genetics are beginning to provide social scientists with a powerful new toolbox they can use to better understand environmental effects, and we illustrate this with several substantive examples. Furthermore, we examine how medical research can benefit from genetic insights into social-scientific outcomes and vice versa. Finally, we discuss the ethical challenges of this work and clarify several common misunderstandings and misinterpretations of genetic research on individual differences.

将遗传学用于社会科学。

社会科学遗传学致力于了解人类之间的遗传差异是否、如何以及为何与行为和社会经济结果的差异相关。我们的评论讨论了这项研究工作的目标、方法、挑战和影响。我们调查了遗传学的最新发展如何开始为社会科学家提供强大的新工具箱,他们可以使用它们来更好地了解环境影响,并用几个实质性的例子来说明这一点。此外,我们还研究了医学研究如何从对社会科学结果的遗传见解中受益,反之亦然。最后,我们讨论了这项工作的伦理挑战,并澄清了对个体差异基因研究的几个常见误解和曲解。
