Stepping effortlessly from myth to cutting-edge science, Mutants gives a brilliant narrative account of our genetic code and the captivating people whose bodies have revealed it—a French convent girl who found herself changing sex at puberty; children who, echoing Homer’s Cyclops, are born with a single eye in the middle of their foreheads; a village of long-lived Croatian dwarves; one family, whose bodies were entirely covered with hair, was kept at the Burmese royal court for four generations and gave Darwin one of his keenest insights into heredity. This elegant, humane, and engaging book "captures what we know of the development of what makes us human" ( Nature ).

一本为怪胎异形teratology立传的神奇书籍，一半是阴森恐怖的历史怪谈志，一半是现代科学，特别是发育生物学，分子生物学的解释。作者是荷兰裔（话说一开始还以为是意大利的呢）
评分写作标准绝对是向唯美读物看齐的。不愧是欧洲科学家，把猎奇都写的美不胜收。

评分通过毛人矮人连体婴儿等基因变异的案例讲人类胚胎如何发育成形的故事。细胞分裂说来简单，可是如何分着分着就长出毛发牙齿骨骼四肢和一张有模有样的脸，这事太神秘读完此书我还是说不大清楚。好在作者这种科学史八卦史艺术史混着聊的写法比较对我胃口。
