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.
在我的思索裡,處在這個現世,一個人若想領悟生命的本質,他不可能只沿著舊有的文史哲學去思考,或純粹浸身宗教靈修冥想,而不去理解天文宇宙與基因密碼所註記的事實。這也是我讀這本科普著作的初衷。事實上,我已讀過許多關於基因與演化的書籍,並發現在這當代顯學裡,人類獲...
评分 评分 评分 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“...
思想清晰,表达顺畅。
评分Possibly one of the most interesting and thought provoking science non-fiction books I've ever read. It's not just a book about genetic science and technology, but also about the many philosophical questions our genome forces us to contemplate. [What is free will outside of our genetic blueprint? Who is the captain of this ship I call myself?]
