Genes create your life, but do not control or define it.
In April 2003, our world changed forever: for the first time we were able to fully decipher the human genome. We now have access to information that no previous generation has had: we can directly equate ourselves with our genetic code.
Each of us in cages has a unique chain of nucleotides that determines who we are. It is a biographical book of 6 billion characters, which, as many believe, is written by the hand of God himself. The genome contains the most intimate secrets about us: where our ancestors came from, to the manifestation of what physical and psychological traits we are predisposed to, which diseases are likely to be escaped, and which can kill us.
The genomic revolution promises to completely transform our understanding of the world. And with the advent of genetic analysis companies, you can now decipher your own genotype. It turns out that we were born with a set of psychological prejudices that ascribe to our genes almost mystical abilities. They can lead us to racism, sexism and the development of eugenics, but they can also increase tolerance, empathy and opportunities for progress.
From this book you will learn how these psychological biases work, how they make us vulnerable to the mass hype surrounding the genomic revolution and how we can use them more effectively.
