Genome, a book of about 100,000 words, is divided into 23 chapters, a chapter for each chromosome. ![]() Genome also argues for the genetic foundations of free will. These 100,000 genes are sited across 23 pairs of chromosomes. The first chromosome, for example, contains our oldest genes, genes which we have in common with plants.īy looking at our genes we can see the story of our evolution, what makes us individual, how our sexuality is determined, how we acquire language, why we are vunerable to certain diseases, how mind has arisen. Life is a slippery term to try to pin down but it requires the ability to replicate and the ability to create order. It has clues to questions that help highlight why we do certain things and have certain characteristics - an autobiography of our species. These 100,000 genes are sited across 23 pairs of chromosomes. Genome contains information from both our recent and far distant past. ![]() The genome is the collective recipe for the building and running of the human body. The most important investigation of genetic science since The Selfish Gene, from the author of the critically acclaimed and best-selling The Red Queen and The Origins of Virtue. ![]()
