Body & Mind

Description

A gene is the tiny molecular blueprint for all the inherited quirks your ancestors left behind. It parcels out serious topics like appearance and temperament in cryptic code. Predispositions for disease or odd tastes come prepackaged, leaving no one to blame but fate. Even if you ignore it, your cells whisper reminders of this relentless biological contract. Scientists devote their careers to this minuscule strand, yet may be the ones truly controlled by it.
