The genome's been mapped.
But what does it mean? Arguably the most significant scientific discovery of the new century, the mapping of the twenty-three pairs of chromosomes that make up the human genome raises almost as many questions as it answers. Questions that will profoundly impact the way we think about disease, about longevity, and about free will. Questions that will affect the rest of your life. Genome offers extraordinary insight into the ramifications of this incredible breakthrough. By picking one newly discovered gene from each pair of chromosomes and telling its story, Matt Ridley recounts the history of our species and its ancestors from the dawn of life to the brink of future medicine. From Huntington's disease to cancer, from the applications of gene therapy to the horrors of eugenics, Matt Ridley probes the scientific, philosophical, and moral issues arising as a result of the mapping of the genome. It will help you understand what this scientific milestone means for you, for your children, and for humankind.

并在社科各学科带头人之中强制阅读,命令他们在基因理论的基础上,重新检讨各自学科的合理性。基因不是小东西,搞不清它,形上之学、有无之辩皆是连篇废话。 别骂我说大话。我确信思想界不久即会有划时代的连锁变革,正因为基因。我还确信这场变革跟中国人关系不大。 这套书...
评分很有意思的书。 阅读科普书籍其实是在轻松的过程中得到一定的启示与鼓舞。即使是在专业范围之内,我仍然觉得在阅读此类书籍时邂逅一大堆化学结构式或微积分方程是一件败坏心情的事--除非是必要的说明。然而马特.里德利的书对此作了巧妙的回避与修饰。和其它以基因组题材的“...
