Book Summary:
Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters by Matt Ridley is a fascinating exploration of human genetics, structured around the 23 pairs of chromosomes that make up the human genome. Each chapter focuses on one chromosome and uses it as a window into a particular aspect of biology, evolution, medicine, or human behavior. Ridley explains complex genetic concepts in an accessible way, blending science with storytelling to show how our DNA influences everything from health and disease to personality and history. The book highlights both the power and the limitations of genetics, emphasizing that while our genes shape us, they do not completely determine our destiny. It offers readers a sweeping yet intimate view of humanity’s biological blueprint, making cutting-edge science engaging and deeply relevant to everyday life.
