Reviews
I would never have expected a book about 'nature or nurture' to be even mildly interesting, let alone a real page-turner. But I had reckoned without Matt Ridley's gift for surprising the reader. What a superb writer he is, and he seems to get better and better., Bracingly intelligent, lucid, balanced--witty, too....A scrupulous and charming look at our modern understanding of genes and experience.

Synopsis
Armed with extraordinary new discoveries about our genes, acclaimed science writer Matt Ridley turns his attention to the nature-versus-nurture debate in a thoughtful book about the roots of human behavior. Ridley recounts the hundred years' war between the partisans of nature and nurture to explain how this paradoxical creature, the human being, can be simultaneously free-willed and motivated by instinct and culture. With the decoding of the human genome, we now know that genes not only predetermine the broad structure of the brain, they also absorb formative experiences, react to social cues, and even run memory. They are consequences as well as causes of the will., "Bracingly intelligent, lucid, balanced--witty, too. . . .
