Taboo and Genetics A Study of the Biological, Sociological and Psychological Foundation of the Family

"Taboo and Genetics" by Melvin M. Knight, Iva Lowther Peters, and Phyllis Blanchard is a study from the early 1900s about family. It looks at how science has changed what people think about sex and families with a focus on biology. The authors want to look again at old ideas about sex and society and examine what biology is teaching us. According to them, old ideas about women are wrong, so they use different subjects such as history and science to teach sexual relationships. The authors want to show how old rules about sex and ideas from psychology and ethnology all come together to change families and normal society.
