16.3 Activity, Genetics in Fiction

Identify and discuss behavior genetics themes in a fictional or artistic work.

Find a fictional or artistic portrayal of genetic testing or engineering and connect it to three of the themes in behavior genetics.

You can pick anything - feel free to be creative and/or esoteric. A few examples:

Gattaca (1997): this YouTube playlist of 8 short clips + the trailer hits the important points in <20 minutes.
Any of the Jurassic Parks: Not about humans, but there’s plenty of discussion of complex behavioral phenotypes, genes, and environments.
You could absolutely analyze three themes relevant to the opening line of Lizzo’s Truth Hurts, “I just took a DNA test, turns out I’m 100% that b*tch.”

Start by briefly naming and describing what fictional or artistic work you are discussing (give me enough detail that I could look it up).
Select any three themes in behavior genetics.
For each theme, write a brief (100-200 words) description of how that theme relates to the fictional portrayal of genetics.
