Summary

Genes: the Fight for Life looks at developments in the life sciences and tells us all what we need to know, in a style that can be enjoyably understood. Cells and chromosomes, viruses and bacteria, are all carefully explained. There emerges a startling new theory about the origins of behaviour. Human nature, it seems, lies in our cells.
