Genome: the Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters

Genome: the Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters - Matt Ridley "Still useful today".

Even though it's published in 1999 the book is still useful today. I was reluctant to get it because I though it might be dated. He really does explain the human genome better than anything I've read. The book was a necessary background to educate me about all of this talk I've been hearing about the human genome. Some of his assertions haven't held up since the publication of the book, but don't let that dissuade you from reading this highly informative book.
