From the award-winning expert on DNA and genetic research, discover the myth-busting book that provides a window into the world of modern genetics and reveals the extraordinary true stories and mysteries solved using the power of DNA.
AS SEEN ON THE CHANNEL 4 DOCUMENTARY HITLER’S BLUEPRINT OF A DICTATOR
DNA has become the key to unlocking crime and immigration cases, it is essential to our food safety, to the protection of threatened wildlife, and to resolving questions of history and archaeology, ancestry and even, for some, identity.
Now the UK’s preeminent authority on DNA and genetic research, Turi King takes us through fascinating true stories - from mistaken dinosaur DNA to the O. J. Simpson trial, from Dolly the sheep to Angelina Jolie’s BRCA1 gene – to reveal the fascinating ways in which DNA has solved mysteries and shaped our world today.
King shows us how we are all interconnected and why we must all benefit from this exciting and rapidly evolving science. She also reminds us that, while our DNA can yield information about genetic predisposition to disease and other conditions, it need not be our destiny. And, perhaps most importantly, she shows us why should all be a part of the discussion as to how new genetic discoveries are utilised for the benefit of all life on earth.
Fascinating, compassionate, and entirely captivating The Secrets of Our DNA is the must-read book about how genetics has changed the world.
