Abstract
The author of the Genealogy of a Gene, Myles W. Jackson, uses the gene CCR5 as a window framing a vista of biocapitalism. With many compartmentalized panes, this window looks at different edges of its scene as the author retells the scientific and pharmaceutical history of CCR5, discusses the world of intellectual property, and ends with thought-provoking final chapters that show where the author’s heart lies as he invites his audience to reconsider some assumptions and unite with historians and anthropologists before diving into the world of “racial” and “ethnic” descriptions to distinguish populations.
