Genome by Matt Ridley. 1999, ISBN 0-06093290-2. Subtitle: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters. This is a popular science book. It is about the human genome, the genes that produce humans. Those genes are stored in 23 pairs of chromosomes, hence the 23 chapters. The author discusses one gene for each chromosomes and in doing so covers a wide range of topics. Purchased 8-12-2002 at Borders for $14.00. This is the second time I have read this book.
