Identically Different: Why You Can Change Your Genes by Tim Spector

4.0

This book is essential reading for any person interested in genes but it's also important for anyone who went to school before 2010ish. The reason being that what we were taught about our genes being fixed is erroneous. Spector shows that the environment can play a huge role in how genes express themselves and can in some instances even change your genetic makeup, this is known as epigenesis. Great news for people who looked at genetic makeup in a fatalistic and pessimistic way. The science is truly fascinating.
