Genetika

Génjeink elmesélnek egy lenyűgöző történetet arról, hogy kik vagyunk és hogyan lettünk azzá, összeszőve az öröklődés, az evolúció és az emberi lehetőségek szálait. Ezek a megvilágosító könyvek a DNS és a genetika tudományát tárják fel magával ragadó történeteken keresztül az identitásról, az egészségről, a családtörténetről és arról, mit jelent valójában embernek lenni.
