The Revolutionary Phenotype

The Amazing Story of How Life Begins and How It Ends

De: J.-F. Gariépy

Narrado por: J.-F. Gariepy

The Revolutionary Phenotype is a science book that brings us four billion years into the past, when the first living molecules showed up on Planet Earth. Unlike what was previously thought, we learn that DNA-based life did not emerge from random events in a primordial soup. Indeed, the first molecules of DNA were fabricated by a previous life form. By describing the fascinating events referred to as phenotypic revolutions, this book provides a dire warning to humanity: if humans continue to play with their own genes, we will be the next life form to fall to our own creation.

Note that this is an audiobook read directly by the author, who has a French accent.

Amazing!

Most important book of our generation. No filler paragraphs, they build on each other to create a revolutionary theory of biology.

Simply amazing

This book was amazing in every way
Every human on earth should read it
And it should be required reading and part of education in high school
I listened to the audio book and was spellbound.

Wonderful and Terrifying

Great narration by author. Loved the music choices. Very interestingly described history of RNA & DNA. Terrifying warning for going down the gene editing path. Impressive sources. A must listen.

One word...SHOCKING!

J.-F. delivers a disturbing theory regarding our genetic replacement and in great detail. Don't give up hope though, he also advises us on how we can fight this menace and avoid our genetic extinction. Thank you J.-F.!

Regarding this as an audio book I found it extremely well done in all aspects.

Subject: Intelligent, Dark, yet Hopeful.

Performance: If you are concerned about a Québécois (French Canadian) narrating his own work, set that aside. His spoken English is excellent and his accent actually brings character to this most interesting subject. GREAT LISTEN.

Author: J.-F. Gariépy obviously dedicated an enormous amount of time and research into his subject matter and put it all in a finished work everyone appreciate. This isn't just big brained science material put forth in a way for scholars. I enjoyed it almost as if I was reading (listening) to a science fiction script. This is not fiction, but this doesn't have to be our future either.

BUY THIS BOOK

Thought-provoking book, great narration

A must-read for anyone who enjoyed Dawkin's Selfish Gene. I found the musical transitions between chapters a bit too long, but otherwise great narration by the author.
