Lamarck's Revenge: the Big Revolution in Epigenetics
About This Novel
Epigenetics is a complex process, but paleontologist and astrobiologist Peter Ward breaks it down into layman's terms for the general public. He uses the paradigm of epigenetics to re-examine how our human history-from ancient times to the outbreak of the Black Death and back to the present day-has left its imprint on our physiology, behavior, and intelligence. Some extremely thought-provoking chapters on the epigenetic changes we are experiencing as a result of toxicants, environmental pollutants, famine, malnutrition, stress, and excessive exposure to violence. Lamarck's Revenge is an eye-opening and exciting exploration of how traits are inherited and how outside influences prompt us to pass them on to future generations.
