• Resumen

  • The author reflects on the relationship between genomics and social environments and on research which investigated medical genetics. He suggests that the main challenge that scientists face is understanding how the human genetic landscape is shaped by the environment. He argues that social sciences and public health research must take the opportunity to integrate biological and chemical factors into their research and investigate the relationship between genomics and the environment.
