Modern Genetics

Epigenetics can potentially revolutionize our understanding of the structure and behavior of biological life on Earth. It explains why mapping an organism's genetic code is not enough to determine how it develops or acts and shows how nurture combines with nature to engineer biological diversity. Surveying the 20-year history of the field while also highlighting its latest findings and innovations, this volume provides a readily understandable introduction to the foundations of epigenetics.

From Grunts to Swipes: Unlocking the Ancient Instincts Behind Modern Love and Marriage So, there I was, standing in the kitchen after yet another conversation with my wife and how she needed another pair of shoes. Does she need six pairs of nearly identical shoes (but they're all for different "activities," apparently), when I had an epiphany. It wasn’t just about shoes. It wasn’t just about purses. It was about... mammoth meat (Hunters and gathers). Yeah, that’s right. We’re all still cavemen and cavewomen deep down, and the things driving us today are eerily similar to what kept ...

The transformation everyone is waiting for already happened. This morning an alarm overrode a body clock older than eyes. A tablet overruled a liver. A hot drink occupied the receptors that report exhaustion. Two curved discs of polymer corrected a pair of eyes that grew the wrong shape, and a slab of glass in a pocket held the memory, the navigation and the arithmetic that used to live inside a skull. By 7:41 in the morning, before speaking to another member of its species, the animal had already done several things no human being could do a century ago. We keep discussing human ...
