Γενετική

Τα γονίδιά μας αφηγούνται την επική ιστορία του ποιοι είμαστε και πώς φτάσαμε ως εδώ, υφαίνοντας μαζί τα νήματα της κληρονομικότητας, της εξέλιξης και των ανθρώπινων δυνατοτήτων. Αυτά τα διαφωτιστικά βιβλία εξερευνούν την επιστήμη του DNA και της γενετικής μέσα από συναρπαστικές αφηγήσεις για την ταυτότητα, την υγεία, το οικογενειακό ιστορικό και τι πραγματικά σημαίνει να είσαι άνθρωπος.
