I would argue that behavioral genetics is extremely ideologically driven. This whole sub-field was started by a white supremacist (Francis Galton) with the aim of “proving” the superiority of the white race. The early days were wrought with pseudoscientific bullshit and unlike me complaining about it on a tech forum, the ideology of behavioral geneticist resulted in an actual policy and the horrors of eugenics. If you want to find more about what makes Behavioral Genetics such a terrible “scientific” endeavor and how the whole field is driven by ideology instead of science, there is a whole book dedicated to the subject: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misbehaving_Science |
