Synopsis
Recent discoveries reveal that genes governing life processes across diverse organisms, from yeast to humans, are fundamentally similar. This book delves into the natural history of heredity, exploring complex questions in molecular genetics and seeking meaning in the natural world. The author, Jennifer Ackerman, integrates her personal experiences, including concerns about her unborn child inheriting a gene linked to her sister's retardation, into this accessible account of scientific inquiry.
