| Abstrakt: |
Many cases of gene-environment interaction, or, are misconstrued as evincing GxE a genetic predisposition. I diagnose this misconstrual and then introduce a new concept--interactive predisposition--to correct for the mistake. I conclude by examining how recent debates over screening for individual predispositions are related to older debates about group differences between populations, drawing on the lessons of the latter to inform the former.
