From the Pulitzer Prize-winning, bestselling author of The Emperor of All Maladies—a magnificent history of the gene and a response to the defining question of the future: What becomes of being human when we learn to “read” and “write” our own genetic information?
The extraordinary Siddhartha Mukherjee has a written a biography of the gene as deft, brilliant, and illuminating as his extraordinarily successful biography of cancer. Weaving science, social history, and personal narrative to tell us the story of one of the most important conceptual breakthroughs of modern times, Mukherjee animates the quest to understand human heredity and its surprising influence on our lives, personalities, identities, fates, and choices.
Throughout the narrative, the story of Mukherjee’s own family—with its tragic and bewildering history of mental illness—cuts like a bright, red line, reminding us of the many questions that hang over our ability to translate the science of genetics from the laboratory to the real world. In superb prose and with an instinct for the dramatic scene, he describes the centuries of research and experimentation—from Aristotle and Pythagoras to Mendel and Darwin, from Boveri and Morgan to Crick, Watson and Franklin, all the way through the revolutionary twenty-first century innovators who mapped the human genome.
As The New Yorker said of The Emperor of All Maladies, “It’s hard to think of many books for a general audience that have rendered any area of modern science and technology with such intelligence, accessibility, and compassion…An extraordinary achievement.” Riveting, revelatory, and magisterial history of a scientific idea coming to life, and an essential preparation for the moral complexity introduced by our ability to create or “write” the human genome, The Gene is a must-read for everyone concerned about the definition and future of humanity. This is the most crucial science of our time, intimately explained by a master.
作者最后说的测十万个小孩基因序列然后跟踪终身的project现在有人在做吗?
评分《众病之王》作者的新作,非常会讲故事,用传记的方式描绘了从孟德尔和达尔文那个年代开始,人们一步一步认识基因的过程。读了之后会知道许多科学家的八卦,也知道许多基因的冷知识,也开始了解基因图谱的难点和现代基因编辑技术的逻辑。很棒的大众读物,文笔更是流畅优美。
评分在心理学的学习过程中,迟早会出现要不要重视生理学知识,重视到什么程度等之类的问题,初学者很有可能在阅读了普心和一些强调非生理的抽象概念(如心理咨询、知觉、人格等内容)入门书后认为没必要了解生理基础,然而这就是步入“空对空”陷阱的开始,也就是脱离生物物质基础去谈各种功能现象的错误。一切心理现象都建立在相应生理机制之上,虽然我们必须分清两者是不同层面的统一体,不能将前者简单还原成后者,但是亦不可分割两者,而且对于后者的理解只会更有帮助,而不是阻碍。基因遗传学对心理学中的很多重大问题有巨大意义,比如具有遗传性的认知障碍成因与对应策略。这本书介绍了基因的伊始到2015年间的历史,对生物学基础缺缺的读者完全友好,并在最后一章的最后做了较好的总结,对于批驳基因决定论、简单还原论等错误思想进行了有力科普。
评分关于基因的全书,对性向基因的描述挺有趣。唉,发现以前上课学过的生物课要彻底修改,这10年的进步真堪比过去100年。
评分现代科学就是把东西打破,在组合起来的过程
