A bold rethinking of asylum work, Genetics in the Madhouse shows how heredity was a human science as well as a medical and biological one. It is the untold story of how the collection and sorting of hereditary data in mental hospitals, schools for "feebleminded" children, and prisons gave rise to a new science of human heredity.
