    Maximilien Robespierre was one of the most influential figures in the French Revolution, known for his uncompromising ideals and his central role in the Reign of Terror. His journey to power began in the late 18th century when he became involved in political life during the early stages of the Revolution. Robespierre’s rise was fueled by his belief in the revolutionary principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity, which he argued should be upheld at any cost, even if that meant the use of violence. 
    Born in 1758 in Arras, Robespierre came from a relatively humble background. He was educated at the College of Louis-le-Grand in Paris, where he developed an interest in law and politics. His education and his early career as a lawyer played a significant role in shaping his later political philosophy. He was known for his eloquence and his ability to persuade others, often advocating for social justice, the rights of the common people, and opposition to corruption. These early convictions aligned with the revolutionary ideals that emerged in the wake of the financial crisis and political instability that plagued France in the late 18th century. 
    In 1789, when the Estates-General convened, Robespierre became a representative of the Third Estate, which included the common people of France. He quickly gained attention for his passionate speeches advocating for reforms, such as universal suffrage and the abolition of the monarchy. His ideas resonated with many of the revolutionaries who sought to overturn the existing political system. Robespierre’s reputation grew as he joined the Jacobin Club, a political group that played a central role in shaping the revolutionary agenda. His alliance with the Jacobins and his tireless advocacy for the principles of equality and justice won him a position as a member of the Committee of Public Safety, the body responsible for overseeing the defense of the revolution.

    Well-meaning physicians, parents, and even scientists today often spread misinformation about what biology can and can't tell us about our bodies, minds, and identities. In this accessible, myth-busting book, geneticist Shoumita Dasgupta draws on the latest science to correct common misconceptions about how much of our social identities are actually based in genetics. 
     
     
      
    Dasgupta weaves together history, current affairs, and cutting-edge science to break down how genetic concepts are misused and how we can approach scientific evidence in a socially responsible way.
