Synopsis

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.

This recording is unabridged. Typically abridged audiobooks are not more than 60% of the author's work and as low as 30% with characters and plotlines removed.

“Brilliant.”

Independent

“Genome is as elegant, as unpatronising and lucid as a layman could desire. Blessed are the users of plain language, for they shall be read.”
