Richard C.

Richard C. Lewontin was a respected Harvard geneticist who made significant contributions to the study of genetic variation among humans and other animals. He challenged the use of genetics and evolutionary biology to explain human nature, arguing for the importance of nurture, culture, and history in shaping complex behaviors. As a prolific writer, he was known for his elegant and often caustic critiques of shallow thinking in genetics. Throughout his career, he held various roles including volunteer firefighter and self-described Marxist. He clashed with Edward O. Wilson, a founder of sociobiology, whom he accused of genetic determinism.
