Includes bibliographical references (p. 321-344) and index
No two people behave exactly the same. There are overeaters and undereaters, alcoholics and teetotalers, over -- and underachievers. We have adventurers and armchair travelers, Don Juans and wallflowers, the timid and the bold - and every possible mixture and variation. Living With Our Genes argues that genes are the single most important factor in the wondrous variability of human behavior. In the past, studies of twins supported the assumption that inheritance plays a major role in why we feel or behave the way we do. Now, scientists are developing an impressive arsenal of research to identify the individual genes that guide human behavior. Living With Our Genes will help readers understand their particular genetic make-up and decipher the mysteries of genetically inherited behavioral traits.
