Tade Souaiaia, a statistical geneticist at SUNY Downstate, dives into the complex world of genetic architecture and its implications for traits like height and athletic ability. He discusses new insights from his research on polygenic traits and how data influx is reshaping our understanding. The conversation takes a turn to race and sports, where he argues against firm conclusions about group differences in athletic performance due to variable historical factors, challenging simplifications in genetic ancestry narratives.
