Opis

Genes have become mythologized as truth-tellers and explanations for everything from homosexuality to heavy drinking. More and more, the unregulated findings of genetic science are being written into insurance policies, employment contracts, into law enforcement and education. This new edition of Hubbard's book challenges the current hegemony of gene research, exploring both its scientific and social implications, including new advances such as genetic cloning.
