Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of the Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined for a second time by Dr. Carlos Lalueza Fox. He is director of the national uh the Natural Science Museum in Barcelona. And today we're going to talk about his latest book, Identity, What DNA can tell us about ourself.
So, Dr. Lalueza Fox, welcome back to the show. It's always a pleasure to talk with you. Yeah, it's a pleasure also for me to be here with you. Okay, so uh let me ask you first, uh, what is identity from the perspective of genetics?
Because uh of course, I I mean in other uh sciences and other domains of knowledge, like I don't know, psychology, philosophy and so on. Perhaps people who have a particular understanding of what identity is, but from the perspective of genetics, how do you approach it? Yeah, yeah, you're right. I would say that uh identity is usually um considered a a set of traits that defines uh your own uh sense of belonging either as individual or as a member of a collective. And these uh traits can be, you know, a mixture of uh several things like uh social traits.
