知能格差社会の真実から遺伝的な適性の見つけ方まで　知性、能力、性格、そして運まで――。

Feel destined for cellulite, saddle bags, and belly fat? Does your family come from a long line of Alzheimer's, cancer, or heart disease? Will nothing help your aging skin or declining libido or flagging energy? This book is for you.

Po Bronson and Arvind Gupta, venture capitalists from Silicon Valley, take everyday news headlines and decode them, leading us on a journey through their unique and highly entertaining view of the world. Each chapter is prefaced with a real-world headline from today's chaotic news cycle: dying bees. Rogue planets. Beyond Meat. Glaciers melting. Bronson and Gupta decipher what's really going on behind these headlines, and why.

How is it that Homo sapiens formed such a special relationship with what, on the face of it, is a most unlikely ally? It is more than just a story of domestication but an astonishing example of the co-evolution of two species, man and wolf, to each other's mutual benefit. This co-evolution was a vital step in helping Homo sapiens overcome competition from other human species and to expand in numbers from relative obscurity on the margins towards the overwhelming numerical superiority and influence that we enjoy today.

Hvem er jeg? En dna-kode oversat til kød og blod er det hurtige svar, men hvad betyder det? Bestemmer den nedarvede kode alt fra min hårfarve over partnervalg til jobsituation eller har "jeg" noget at skulle have sagt her? Er der i det hele taget et frit og ubundet "jeg", eller gennemspiller "jeg" bare et computerprogram i dna-kode, der dikterer mit liv og min død? Lone Frank har i "Mit smukke genom" sat sig for at finde ud af så meget om sine egne gener som muligt.

A new gene editing technology, invented just seven years ago, has turned humanity into gods. Enabling us to manipulate the genes in virtually any organism with exquisite precision, CRISPR has given scientists a degree of control that was undreamt of even in science fiction. But CRISPR is just the latest, giant leap in a long journey to master genetics. The Genetic Age shows the astonishing, world-changing potential of the new genetics and the possible threats it poses, sifting between fantasy and the reality when it comes to both benefits and dangers.

Two Nobel Laureates discuss the genome and more. James D. Watson changed the course of history with his discovery of DNA, the "secret of life". Watson is the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the National Medal of Science, and, with Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins, the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Wie hat die Biologie Sie zu dem wunderbaren Menschen gemacht, der Sie ohne Zweifel sind? Tragen Sie selbst die Verantwortung für Ihre Persönlichkeit und Intelligenz? Oder können Sie die Schuld jemand anderem zuschieben? Das neue Hörbuch von Science-Slam-Europameister Martin Moder entführt uns in die Naturwissenschaft der Zukunft - und klärt dabei spielerisch die bedeutendsten Fragen. Wie wird man weniger blöd? Kann man Weicheier zu Alphatieren machen, indem man ihnen ins Gehirn leuchtet? Wie wird ein Sesselfurzer zum muskelbepackten Adonis, ohne auch nur aufstehen zu müssen?

Wissenschaftlichen Schätzungen zufolge leidet jeder Mensch unter mindestens 2.000 Gendefekten. Sie lassen unser Immunsystem schlechter funktionieren, führen zu Arthrose und Osteoporose, können Diabetes und Sehschwäche verursachen, und sie machen dick. Aber Gene sind kein Schicksal mehr. Der Molekularbiologe Dr. Daniel Wallerstorfer zeigt, wie wir mit der richtigen Vorsorge, guter Ernährung und dem geeigneten Lebensstil unsere Erbanlagen steuern und unsere Gesundheit kontrollieren können.

The Secret Body is a gripping drama of discovery and a landmark account of the dawning revolution in human health that reveals a hitherto invisible universe within each of us.

Vivimos en una era en la que la tecnología avanza rápidamente. La Inteligencia Artificial es cada vez más prominente en nuestra vida cotidiana, lo que nos lleva cada vez más cerca de lo que los tecnócratas de Silicon Valley y otros lugares llaman "La Singularidad". Esto debería ser nuevo para la mayoría de la gente, ya que se habla de ello en todos los medios de comunicación y los famosos cuentan lo maravilloso que será este Brave New World. Pero, ¿qué implica realmente la Singularidad cuando investigamos lo que nos dicen los tecnócratas y lo que nos están dando en forma de ...

How could a relatively simple chemical code give rise to the complexity of a human being? How could our human genome have evolved? And how does it actually work? Your genome defines you at the most profound level. That same genome is present in every one of the approximately 100,000 billion cells that make you who you are as an individual member of the human species. An important ingredient of the genome, and its essential nature, is memory .

Reversing Human Aging was the first book in history to describe how aging works, how to reverse it, and the consequences of doing so. Originally published in 1996, it has largely passed the test of time. In the next two weeks, we will upload a new, electronic edition of this book and make it available for those interested in the work of Double Helix Corporation. The new edition, however, was taken directly from my original manuscript as submitted for publication, rather than from the publisher’s final version as actually printed. To the contrary, it retains the uncorrected style of my ...

In Strange Bedfellows, David P. Barash and Judith Eve Lipton look at how biology actually promotes monogamy in some species and how these lessons apply to human beings. An accessible work of science that is relevant to our intimate daily life, Strange Bedfellows will reassure some people, surprise others, and engage everyone.

La specie umana, unica tra le specie viventi, è in grado di ricostruire la propria storia biologica. Da un lato tutti gli uomini appartengono a una sola specie, dall'altro non esistono due uomini uguali sulla terra, tanto è grande la variabilità genetica tra individuo e individuo. Unica tra le specie è anche la nostra complessa storia culturale e tra le due evoluzioni, biologica e culturale, esistono convergenze ma anche divergenze.

The Brittle Riddle is the true story of one of the nation’s oldest and most difficult cold case mysteries ever solved. At the exact moment Nancy Anderson was murdered in 1972, her glass covered portrait photo (which she hung up), fell off the wall at her family’s home 3000 miles away and shattered on the ground. This story is about family, faith, determination, and a murder mystery! It is based on true events that inspired a family of 9 siblings to embark on a 50-year quest to resolve their life-long brittle riddle… (the unsolved brutal murder of their sister). It’s also the story ...

Each animal on the planet owes its existence to one very simple but crucial piece of evolutionary engineering: the egg. It's time to tell a new story of life on Earth.

人間だけがもっているスーパーパワーってなに？　私たちはそれをどう使えばいいんだろう？　世界的ベストセラー『サピエンス全史』の著者が、未来をになう子どもたちに贈る、驚きの歴史！

"El acertijo de la vida" es una fascinante narración de los hallazgos más importantes de la Biología durante el siglo XX y su revolución para dar paso a la genética. Para ello da cuenta de los actores más importantes en este proceso y el contexto en el que se dieron sus aportaciones: la importancia que tuvo Rosalind Franklin en el desarrollo del esquema de la doble hélice del ADN, las primeras ideas en la biología relacionadas a la búsqueda del gen y que dieron paso a la genética.
