• Jak to się dzieje, że dziedziczymy florę bakteryjną? • Dlaczego wciąż nosimy w sobie geny odpornościowe neandertalczyków? • Jaką rolę w rozwoju genetyki odegrał groszek? • Kiedy XX + XY = XY, a kiedy XX? Wszystkim nam się wydaje, że z dziedziczeniem jesteśmy na ty. Już wiele wieków temu ludzie dostrzegali podobieństwa dzieci do rodziców – podobny kolor oczu lub sposób zachowania w określonych sytuacjach. Nie zastanawiali się jednak, dlaczego tak się dzieje, i nie nazwaliby tego dziedziczeniem. Dziedziczenie oznacza dar lub... Z tej książki dowiesz się:

She Has Her Mother's Laugh: The Story of Heredity, Its Past, Present and Future
ISBN: 9781509818556 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2018 BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION She Has Her Mother's Laugh presents a profoundly original perspective on what we pass along from generation to generation. Charles Darwin played a crucial part in turning heredity into a scientific question, and yet he failed spectacularly to answer it. The birth of genetics in the early 1900s seemed to do precisely that. Gradually, people translated their old notions about heredity into a language of genes. As the technology for studying genes became cheaper, millions of people ordered genetic tests to link themselves to...

Magnificent and bizarre, it is the story of how we got here, what we left behind, and what we brought with us. We all know about evolution, but it still seems absurd that our ancestors were fish. Darwin's idea of natural selection was the key to solving generation-to-generation evolution --... Everybody Out of the Pond

Sixty-five million years ago, a comet or asteroid larger than Mount Everest slammed into the Earth, inducing an explosion equivalent to the detonation of a hundred million hydrogen bombs. Vaporized detritus blasted through the atmosphere upon impact, falling back to Earth around the globe. Disastrous environmental consequences ensued: a giant tsunami, continent-scale wildfires, darkness, and cold, followed by sweltering greenhouse heat. When conditions returned to normal, half the plant and animal genera on Earth had perished. This horrific chain of events is now widely accepted as...
