The Gene: An Intimate History

---

"A magisterial account of how human minds have laboriously, ingeniously picked apart what makes us tick.... The Gene will confirm Mukherjee as our era's preeminent popular historian of medicine"

Briliantly interweacing science, social history, and the story oh his own family, Pulitzer Prize winner Siddhartha Mukherjee explains the science of genetics and confronts the extraordinary influence of heredity on our lives. With superb prose and an instinct for the dramatic scene, he describes the centuries of research and experimentation - from Aristotle and Pythagoras to Mendel and Darwin, from Boveri and Morgan to Crick, Watson, and Franklin, and all the day through the revolutionary twenty-first-century innovators who are mapping the human genome. The Gene is also, crucially, a preparation for the moral complexity introduced by our ability to create or "write" a genome, and thus determine human fate. Riveting, majestic, revelatory, it is a must-read for everyone concerned about the definition and future of humanity.
