About This Item
Fourth Estate, Fulham Palace Road, London - 2003 Hardcover, 6¼" x 9½" (16cms x 24cms), with dust jacket Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers & barcode, etc. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD price-clipped dust jacket. In February 2001 it was announced that the genome contained not 100,000 genes as originally expected but only 30,000.This starlting revision led some scientists to conclude that there are not enough human genes to account for all the different ways people behave: we must be made by nurture, not nature. The emerging truth is far more interesting than this myth. Nurture depends on genes too, and genes needs nurture. Genes not only predetermine the broad structure of the brain, they also absorb formative experiences, react to social cues and even run memory. They are consequences, as well as causes, of the will. This book chronicles a new revolution in our understanding of genes.
