This is the fascinating history charted by well-known science writer Colin Tudge (The Variety of Life). From Mendel's Moravian allotment, through Crick and Watson's discovery of DNA, to the horrors of Nazi eugenics, Tudge pursues the sometimes tortured and always controversial life-story of the genetic concept. Unwilling to shirk an argument, Tudge frankly confronts the virtues and vices of sociobiology (the idea that natural selection moulded the human psyche), along with the long-term Darwinian prognosis for homo sapiens as a species (ie are we going to keep "getting better?"). Throughout this lucid and well-written work the monastic spirit of Mendel himself seems to preside: the whole has an air of wry, detached sagacity.--Sean Thomas
