Mutants: On Genetic Variety and the Human Body by Armand Marie Leroi

3.0

There is a lot of truly fascinating information here about embryology and genetics, and some of the examples of the "mutants " of the past are exceptionally well done. I was expecting more story and less scientific paper, which is why I'm only rating it three stars, for being a bit dense to read in some parts. (I rate myself no slouch in the science department, so if I say it's dense, I really mean it.) But I have to be clear that it's a great piece of work on this topic and well worth the effort.
