Autorenporträt
Erik L. Peterson is an award-winning Professor of the History of Science and Medicine at the University of Alabama (USA), and a co-host of the podcast 'Speaking of Race.' Erik researches the conceptual foundations of genetics, evolutionary biology, and anthropology, and is especially interested in the persistence of race science. His book, The Life Organic: the Theoretical Biology Club and the Roots of Epigenetics (2017), told the forgotten story of British scientists who discovered epigenetics before the Second World War- 70 years before it revolutionized American biology. He also co-authored A Deeper Sickness (2022), a daily history of 2020, which critics have called 'harrowing' and a call for a 'national reckoning.'
