The Genetic Inferno

About this book

"By describing the gap that exists between human behavior and the human gene, this fascinating book seeks both to clarify and debunk ideas about the genetic roots of behavior, from the genes of divorce to the tendency to eat chocolate. Using Dante's The Divine Comedy as an organizing framework, The Genetic Inferno explains each of the Seven Deadly Sins, but in terms of twenty-first century understanding of genes and behavior."--Jacket.
