About
Long before daytime television and celebrity tabloids, scientists from around the world sought to develop a test of biological paternity. Nara Milanich offered a social and cultural history that traces parentage testing from its origins in the 1920s to the present. She explored how and why identity and descent first became scientific problems and the consequences of testing for men, women, and children, states and societies, kinship and citizenship.
