How did our bodies really evolve? How do they function from day to day? What is the relationship between genes and disease? Do genes determine our temperament, intelligence and life-span? This beautifully written book provides us with a clear understanding of the map of the human genome. With stunning graphic illustrations and contributions from scientists from across the globe, John Hodgson shows how genetics is set to revolutionise our expectations about what it means to be human.
