Explore the complex intersection of genetics and human behaviour in this compelling work by acclaimed science writer Matt Ridley. Building upon the insights of his bestseller Genome, Ridley provides a fascinating exploration of the nature versus nurture debate. He challenges the traditional myth that behaviour is dictated by either genetics or environmental factors alone, instead revealing how genes and nurture are deeply interconnected. The book details how genes respond to social cues, formative experiences, and memory, ultimately shaping the human experience. Published to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the discovery of DNA, this book offers a clear, accessible account of the revolution in modern genetics. It is an essential read for anyone interested in biology, psychology, and the fundamental question of what makes us human. Nature via Nurture provides an insightful look at how our biological blueprint interacts with the world around us. This edition explores the paradox of being simultaneously motivated by instinct and freewill.
