This is a book that gives you a brief understanding of the history, ethics, debates, and process of genetics using witty comments and illustrations. This was very engaging and informative. I would recommend to anyone who wants to know more about the topic, but is too intimidated/bored by it. This book will help out!

A lot of this book was a history of the study of genetics not genetics itself

Brief introductory book that covers a large canvass of the background and concept. I like the illustrations which though sometimes irrelevant to topic they makes it interesting and light.

I love the graphic guides and was quite excited to find this one in a bookshop. This one could really do with updating though. It’s fine for the historical background but doesn’t seem to have been updated for about 20 years - which for this subject is a very long time!
It did help my basic understanding though, which was kind of the point.
