br. Ereditiamo la nostra personalità o la formiamo nel corso della vita? Cosa può svelare il DNA sulla storia dell'uomo? Che cosa ha significato per il mondo intero la clonazione della pecora Dolly? Ben presto potremo progettare e commissionare i nostri figli? I concetti basilari della genetica sono esposti in modo chiaro e accattivante in questi 50 brevi saggi. Partendo dalla teoria dell'evoluzione di Darwin e concludendo con le più recenti e controverse questioni etiche e scientifiche, l'autore mostra come l'analisi del codice genetico degli esseri umani e degli animali abbia cambiato la nostra visione della vita sulla Terra. Con l'aiuto di citazioni, di divertenti aneddoti e di un utile glossario, scopriremo i segreti dei cromosomi, del DNA e del genoma umano, impareremo che la genetica può essere di aiuto nella lotta contro il cancro, l'AIDS, la malaria, i batteri antibiotico-resistenti, e ci interrogheremo insieme all'autore sui temi scottanti della bioetica e dell'ingegneria genetica, nel tentativo di intravedere che cosa il futuro potrebbe riservare al genere umano.
ill., br. Perché siamo come siamo? Qual è il contributo della genetica e quanto siamo invece influenzati dall'ambiente in cui cresciamo e viviamo? È proprio vero che parte del nostro DNA è spazzatura? E la terapia genica per quali malattie funziona? 50 concetti basilari della genetica vengono affrontati in modo rigoroso ma allo stesso tempo fruibile da tutti, dando ampio spazio alle domande chiave che riguardano il nostro presente e futuro, dagli OGM alla clonazione, dalla vita artificiale "programmata" alla medicina d'avanguardia.
