The genome's been mapped.
But what does it mean? Arguably the most significant scientific discovery of the new century, the mapping of the twenty-three pairs of chromosomes that make up the human genome raises almost as many questions as it answers. Questions that will profoundly impact the way we think about disease, about longevity, and about free will. Questions that will affect the rest of your life. Genome offers extraordinary insight into the ramifications of this incredible breakthrough. By picking one newly discovered gene from each pair of chromosomes and telling its story, Matt Ridley recounts the history of our species and its ancestors from the dawn of life to the brink of future medicine. From Huntington's disease to cancer, from the applications of gene therapy to the horrors of eugenics, Matt Ridley probes the scientific, philosophical, and moral issues arising as a result of the mapping of the genome. It will help you understand what this scientific milestone means for you, for your children, and for humankind.

科班是不用讀這種書的,因為我們積纍的知識媛媛勝過該書的信息量。我是抱著獵奇的心態來翻的,查漏補缺,找一些好奇的點兒。最初是因為這個鏈接感興趣的:https://www.zhihu.com/question/21647640/answer/78289285 1.哮喘與遺傳有關,專業的說法是,具有一定的相關度(全相關...
評分這是一本每個文科生都應該認真閱讀的科普讀物。 注:“”為原文摘錄。 作者以人類的23對獨立染色體裏的典型基因展開故事。 導言部分 P10“基因復製的能力之所以有可能存在,是因為存在一種‘配方’,裏麵有製造一個新的身體所需要的信息。...
評分基因造就瞭生物,它們之間的關係決定瞭生物之間關係的基本麵。最初生物的競爭就是單個基因的競爭,生物隻是臨時的戰車,跟生物體建立短暫的聯盟。現在的競爭更像是基因與生物體組成的團隊與其他團隊的競爭。基因之間有衝突,這導緻瞭個人之間的各種矛盾,包括傢庭內部。從基因...

評分Possibly one of the most interesting and thought provoking science non-fiction books I've ever read. It's not just a book about genetic science and technology, but also about the many philosophical questions our genome forces us to contemplate. [What is free will outside of our genetic blueprint? Who is the captain of this ship I call myself?]
