Overview
Richard Lewontin, Agassiz Professor of Zoology & Professor of Biology at Harvard University, explores the complexity of human variation & tackles the controversial question: Are our personalities & capabilities predetermined by our genes? Answering with a resounding no,Ó he makes the case that biological differences are only a small part of what makes individuals unique -- anyone, regardless of race, class, or sex, has the potential to develop virtually any identity within the spectrum of humanity. Lewontin points out that while some genes have several forms, most of what makes a human being is shared, with astonishing fidelity, among more than 5 billion other creatures. Illustrated with photographs, maps, charts & tables.
