Popular scientist Matt Ridley's renowned as much for readability as for learning. Following the succes of The Red Queen and The Origins Of Virtue, Genome is a Sunday Times Top Tet Bestseller and a Guardian Book of the Year.

Genome unravels the secrets of human nature without the usual reams of technical jargon. It shows outstanding breakthroughs in gene research, how we've gone from knowing almost nothing to knowing almost everything, and how our genes reveal more about our past, our evolution, and even our minds. Every important event in human history is written into our genes, whether it happened 4 billion or a few hundred years ago. All you need to know is where to look.©1999 Matt Ridley (P)2000 W. F.

First couple of chapters were a difficult to understand as they introduced technical terms difficult to understand by a lay person. So, I watched a couple of YouTube videos with illustrations. That helped. After that, it was fantastical journey in to the lives and times of the genes from the prehistoric times. Immensely fascinating. I had to listen this book at a slow speed and at times repeat some chapters but it was all worthwhile.
