Human Genome eBook

The Human Genome explores the science and the history behind the specific sequences in our DNA that make us human. Reaching all the way back to the 1850s when Gregor Mendel used his pea plant experiments to solve the mystery of trait inheritance, this book maps out each theory that laid the groundwork to piece together who we are and why. The Human Genome looks at the important medical advances this knowledge has gained us and the social issues surrounding them.
