This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the science of genetics and the implications of its findings on our understanding of human nature. A prevailing myth suggests that our unique genomes, identical only in twins, predetermine our fate. However, recent genetic breakthroughs debunk this notion. While genetic variations do shape human behavior to varying degrees, they rarely undermine our genuine autonomy. Genetic determinism only holds sway in specific medical conditions, such as certain psychiatric disorders. In this book, Denis Alexander argues that we are not bound by our genetic makeup. He reveals how molecular-level genetic influences can predispose us to certain behaviors, but emphasizes that our worldviews, which transcend science, have a far greater impact on our actions. Alexander's engaging narrative provides readers with the tools to critically evaluate the latest genetic discoveries and their implications for our understanding of human nature, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in genetics and its far-reaching consequences.
