520 _aEsta es una historia sobre ti. La historia de quién eres y cómo has llegado a ser quien eres. Tu historia es única; como lo es la del resto de 10 billones de humanos que alguna vez respiraron. Adam Rutherford, genetista de la Universidad de Londres, ha escrito un libro divertido, apasionante y lúcido que abre las puertas a concebir nuestra existencia de un modo nuevo y fascinante. Nuestro genoma no debe leerse como un manual de instrucciones sino como un poema épico. Con un lenguaje sencillo y emotivo, Rutherford consigue explicar en qué consiste la mayor revolución científica a escala humana de la historia de la humanidad. Sin duda este libro se convertirá en un clásico de la divulgación científica como lo fueron los libros de Stephen Jay Gould o los de Richard Dawkins
520 _aThis is a story about you. It is the history of who you are and how you came to be. Unique to you, as it is to each of the one hundred billion modern humans who have ever drawn breath, it is also our shared story. For within each of our genomes lies the chronicle of our species — of births and deaths, disease and war, famine, migration, and a great deal of sex. Since scientists first decoded the human genome in 2001, it has become the subject of countless claims, counterclaims, and misconceptions. Yet, as Adam Rutherford argues, our genomes are not instruction manuals to be followed, but epic poems to be interpreted. Our DNA tells us far less than we might imagine about ourselves as individuals — and far more about us as a species. In this compelling exploration of the ever-evolving field of genetics, Rutherford reveals what our genes can now teach us about history, and what history, in turn, reveals about our genes. From Neanderthals to murder, red hair to race, dead kings to plague, evolution to epigenetics — this is a lucid and revelatory portrait of who we are, and how we came to be.
