Kritik
"The book offers not only an updated and complex synthesis of existing historiography on the whole range of topics it deals with, but also presents the reader with a future-oriented narrative framework that by its very argumentative structuring invites critical reflection on the synthesis it presents, as well as on the implications and consequences issuing from the present day entwinement of biology and politics. I recommend the book very highly ... ." (Snait B. Gissis, Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, Vol. 62, April, 2017)

"Political Biology is a dense and useful addition to the voluminous literature on the history of the biological theories of heredity and their sociopolitical consequences." (Michel Dubois, European Journal of Sociology, Vol. 58 (3), 2017)

"With Political Biology Maurizio Meloni has pulled together a strikingly wide range of scholarly sources from the history of the human sciences and heredity ... . There is a great deal that historians of science will enjoy and admire about Meloni's work, particularly the breadth of reading and commitment to delivering the value of historical research to contemporary social and policy predicaments ... . Political Biology is engaging, clear and an excellent inclusion in HPS and STS syllabi." (Dominic J. Berry, British Journal for the History of Science, Vol. 50 (1), 2017)mehr
