In 'Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters', Matt Ridley presents a fascinating exploration of human genetics. Through 23 chapters, each dedicated to a different chromosome, Ridley unravels the story of our evolution, the basis of our individuality, the determination of our sexuality, the acquisition of language, and our vulnerability to certain diseases. This book argues about the genetic foundations of free will and how everything that makes us human can be read in our genes. An essential work to understand genetic science and its impact on our existence.
Matthew White Ridley, 5th Viscount Ridley, commonly known as Matt Ridley, is a British science writer, journalist and businessman. He writes on science, the environment and economics, and has been a regular contributor to The Times newspaper. Ridley was chairman of the UK bank Northern Rock from 2004 to 2007, during which period it experienced the first run on a British bank in 130 years. He resigned, and the bank was bailed out by the UK government; this led to its nationalisation.
