Mutants: On Genetic Variety and the Human Body by Armand Marie Leroi
5.0
This is one of those books that I am simply so sad to see end. So sad, indeed, that I emailed the author last night asking if there was any chance of seeing an updated version coming out soon. He said no :'(
History, science, and the history of science. The trifecta. I would recommend this book highly to everybody, but I would also suggest that it would have much more meaning to people with a mild familiarity (which is all I have, in the case of the latter) with genetics and embryology, for such terminology as "recessive" and "primitive streak" may be quite alien to laymen. But that is not to say that it is not still a very accessible book for the lay population, for such vocabulary is only a small part of the overall book.
