"Biological identity" as a book category encompasses works that explore how biological factors—genes, hormones, neurobiology, sex and gender, physical traits, health conditions, and evolutionary or developmental processes—shape (and are shaped by) personal and social identities. It includes nonfiction like popular science, medical humanities, bioethics, and social-scientific studies that examine the interplay of biology with race, gender, disability, and selfhood, as well as memoirs and fiction that dramatize bodily change, diagnosis, reproduction, or biotechnology's impact on who we are. Books in this category interrogate questions of authenticity, agency, and belonging at the boundary of nature and culture, often drawing on interdisciplinary research and lived experience to challenge simplistic biological determinism while illuminating how biology figures in identity-making. Suitable for general readers, scholars, and readers of literary and speculative fiction, the category highlights both the scientific and human dimensions of what it means to be—and become—someone in a biological body.
