Full of fascinating and bizarre cases of genetic mutation and
irregularity, 'Mutants' is an amazing exploration of the human form
in all its beautiful and unique guises. Why are most of us born
with one nose, two legs, ten fingers and twenty-four ribs - and
some of us not? Why do most of us stop growing in our teens - while
others just keep going? Why do some us have heads of red hair - and
others no hair at all? The human genome, we are told, makes us what
we are. But how? Armand Marie Leroi takes us to the extremes of
human mutation - from the grotesque to the beautiful, and often
both at the same time - to explain how we become what we are.
Through the tales of long-lived Croatian dwarves, ostrich-footed
Wadoma tribesmen, sex-changing French convent girls, and many more
wonders of human development, Leroi has written a brilliant
narrative account of our genetic grammar and people whose bodies
have revealed it.
