Genetica

Onze genen vertellen het epische verhaal van wie we zijn en hoe we zijn geworden wie we zijn, waarbij de draden van erfelijkheid, evolutie en menselijk potentieel met elkaar worden verweven. Deze verhelderende boeken verkennen de wetenschap van DNA en genetica door middel van meeslepende verhalen over identiteit, gezondheid, familiegeschiedenis en wat het werkelijk betekent om mens te zijn.
