The authors go on to wrestle with the moral and ethical issues of modern genetics, making a case for a rational appraisal of genetic engineering and for the public to become sufficiently "DNA literate" in order to appreciate the crucial role it plays in our lives. The Book of Man explores how genetic information is now being read and interpreted by focusing on biology's most ambitious undertaking to date--the Human Genome Project, an attempt to uncover all the 100,000 genes that control our development and detail the DNA alphabet of each. At conception, a single cell--the fertilized egg--is produced, and it is this one cell that has the potential to form a new and unique individual under the guidance of the DNA within its nucleus. From Gregor Mendel's discovery of the laws of inheritance to the high-tech, crime-stopping power of forensics science and the fascinating but sometimes troublesome implications of the latest science of genetic engineering, The Book of Man brilliantly explores and explains the quest that is changing our understanding of what i
"The message of The Book of Man is that all responsible citizens ought to achieve DNA literacy. Strongly recommended for scientists and nonscientists alike." --Francis Crick, Nobel laureate. The Human Genome Project, biology's equivalent of the Apollo lunar-landing program, aims to uncover all 100,000 genes that control human development and to detail the DNA alphabet of each
"Good choice for Christmas" according to Susan Schestopol. My brother graduated from Washington State w/ a degree in anthropology & this seemed like a book he would like. I had the Amazon receipt with me, and he didn't seem to need it. Interesting anecdotes but short on human genome information A Customer By putting "The Human Genome Project" in the title one is deluded into thinking that the book may contain results from post 1991 human genome research. The reader will be disappointed. The anecdotes are interesting and well written accounts of events concerning use of gene
