《人类多样性的分配》(1972年)是遗传学家理查德·列翁廷在其职业生涯中发表的被引用最多的研究文章。这项研究的主要结果,即人类的大多数遗传多样性可以解释为人口内的差异,而不是人口之间的差异,以及Lewontin直言不讳的,政治上充满活力的解释,已成为有关人类遗传变异的科学和文化话语的基础。这篇文章有一个不寻常的文献计量学轨迹,因为它在今天的书目记录中比出版后的前20年更加突出。在这里,我们强调了四个因素,可能发挥了作用,在塑造论文的名气:(一)在几个学科的有影响力的出版物的引用;(二)Lewontin自己的流行书籍和媒体露面;(三)人口遗传学研究的复兴的20世纪90年代初;以及(iv)1994年前后科学进步、有影响力的书籍和论文以及激烈争论的偶然碰撞。最后,我们对Twitter数据进行了分析,以描述社区和对话的特征,这些社区和对话继续使这项研究成为关于种族和遗传学的讨论的中心,这为继承了Lewontin遗产的科学家带来了新的挑战。这篇文章是主题问题的一部分,“庆祝Lewontin对人类多样性的分配50周年”。
‘The apportionment of human diversity’ (1972) is the most highly cited research article published by geneticist Richard Lewontin in his career. This study's primary result—that most genetic diversity in humans can be accounted for by within-population differences, not between-population differences—along with Lewontin's outspoken, politically charged interpretations thereof, has become foundational to the scientific and cultural discourse pertaining to human genetic variation. The article has an unusual bibliometric trajectory in that it is much more salient in the bibliographic record today compared to the first 20 years after its publication. Here, we highlight four factors that may have played a role in shaping the paper's fame: (i) citations in influential publications across several disciplines; (ii) Lewontin's own popular books and media appearances; (iii) the renaissance of population genetics research of the early 1990s; and (iv) the serendipitous collision of scientific progress, influential books and papers, and heated controversies around the year 1994. We conclude with an analysis of Twitter data to characterize the communities and conversations that continue to keep this study at the centre of discussions about race and genetics, prompting new challenges for scientists who have inherited Lewontin's legacy. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Celebrating 50 years since Lewontin's apportionment of human diversity’.
