An eminent geneticist, veteran author, OMMG Series Editor, and
noted archivist, Peter Harper presents a lively account of how our
ideas and knowledge about human genetics have developed over the
past century from the perspective of someone inside the field with
a deep interest in its historical aspects. Dr. Harper has
researched the history of genetics and has had personal contact
with a host of key figures whose memories and experiences extend
back 50 years, and he has interviewed and recorded conversations
with many of these important geneticists. Thus, rather than being a
conventional history, this book transmits the essence of the ideas
and the people involved and how they interacted in advancing- and
sometimes retarding- the field. From the origins of human genetics;
through the contributions of Darwin, Mendel, and other giants; the
identification of the first human chromosome abnormalities; and up
through the completion of the Human Genome project, this Short
History is written in the author's characteristic clear and
personal style, which appeals to geneticists and to all those
interested in the story of human genetics.
