A masterful guide to human development that redefines the nature
versus nurture debate
A much-needed antidote to genetic determinism, "The Dependent Gene
"reveals how all traits-even characteristics like eye and hair
color-are caused by complex interactions between genes and the
environment at every stage of biological and psychological
development, from the single fertilized egg to full-grown
adulthood.
How we understand the nature versus nurture debate directly affects
our thoughts about such basic issues as sex and reproduction,
parenting, education, and crime, and has an enormous impact on
social policy. With life-and-death questions in the balance
surrounding stem-cell research, cloning, and DNA fingerprinting, we
can no longer afford to be ignorant of human development. An
enlightening guide to this brave new world, "The Dependent Gene
"empowers us to take control of our own destiny.
