reviewed on + 52 more book reviews


Easy-reading genetic explanations of evolution of humans and disese organisms. Explanations of why some inherited affictions provided a method of survival when extremes of environment or plagues cause harsh tests for survival. The survive and reproduce imperative of all organisms may have ignored affictions that were adult onset, i.e. after reproduction. Common sense examples easily understood by the non-scientifically inclined.
