Review:
"History repeats itself, in part because the genome repeats itself. And the genome repeats itself, in part because history does. The impulses, ambitions, fantasies, and desires that drive human history are, at least in part, encoded in the human genome. And human history has, in turn, selected genomes that carry these impulses, ambitions, fantasies, and desires" --S. Mukherjee What a book. Every biologist should read this. --By Gopalakrishnan K on 24 May 2016
The greatest science writing book i ever had. A long search history led by a thousand explorers, from Aristotle, Pythagoras to Mendel to Francis Collins and to j.Craig venter in search of genetic hereditary 'thing' and what makes us. Brilliantly written. I wish, I would have read this book just two years ago. Wonderful and enjoyable (must) read if you love genetics. Beautifully carried, and connected all missed and available pieces of history of a gene... To his familial heredity. Siddhartha Mukherjee (author)- is really a extraordinary writer. --By mayur pawale on 29 May 2016
Siddhartha mukherjee weaves a story that brings together the twin fabrics of science and personal past together. He does the same thing to medicine that William Darlymple did for history- making it interesting,personal and passionate. This book is a must read for everyone who want to know about genes and themselves. Because we are all as the book so wonderfully unveils are but made of genes. --By Arun Gautham on 23 June 2016
