DNA (cleaned version)

What is in our DNA?
What is shaped by environment? What is not? Does our DNA code for who we are? How does it not?

How has genetics been used by those in power to justify and maintain social injustices?
How can it be used to help us expose and take apart racist, sexist, homophobic and ableist social structures?
