Description

Can 21st-century molecular biology answer age-old questions about the human experience? Can studying proteins and DNA help us understand how we make our choices in sex and love? How we communicate? Where our emotions come from? Or why we age and die?

In this fascinating journey into the biology of cells, award-winning scientist and educator Peter Schattner explains how proteins and DNA affect our lives. Based on the latest scientific discoveries, Sex Love and DNA: What Molecular Biology Teaches Us About Being Human explores the amazing world of molecular biology through stories of people who don’t feel pain because of rare genetic variants, children whose DNA enables them to perform unusual feats of strength, and people who can't speak or read simply because they lack certain proteins. Written in language that anyone can understand, Sex Love and DNA will show you how science is revolutionizing our understanding of what it means to be human.
