honnari_hannya 's review for:
The Gene: An Intimate History
by Siddhartha Mukherjee
A cogent, comprehensive review of our understanding of genetics through the course of human civilization. This was written very accessibly so that even those with a minimal background in the sciences could digest and enjoy. I really enjoyed the way Mukherjee interspersed the history of genetics with the histories of the people who were consequential to discovering more about it, whether they be patients or scientists, as well as his own family history that definitely added a layer of depth to the book and gave it very human stakes.
