Genetik

Unsere Gene erzählen die epische Geschichte davon, wer wir sind und wie wir zu dem wurden, was wir sind, und verweben dabei die Fäden von Vererbung, Evolution und menschlichem Potenzial. Diese erhellenden Bücher erforschen die Wissenschaft der DNA und Genetik durch fesselnde Erzählungen über Identität, Gesundheit, Familiengeschichte und was es wirklich bedeutet, Mensch zu sein.

Highly recommended!! Fantastic service. Perfect for those that want a little more than a teaser but not all the intricate details of a full audio book.
