About the book
Carl Zimmer explores the fascinating history of heredity from ancient times to the modern genomic era. With engaging narratives and memorable historical figures, the book traces how we came to understand genetic inheritance and how that understanding has shaped science, medicine, and society.
Zimmer debunks myths about genetics, examines the dangers of simplistic interpretations of DNA, and demonstrates how heredity is far more complex and wondrous than we often believe. An essential read for anyone wishing to understand the scientific and historical foundations of who we are.
