Summary:"...contrary to public opinion, genes don't determine the final form of any of our traits, even biological ones like hair and eye color....Moore's...is the first accessible book to show how all traits are caused by complex, dependent interactions, between genes and the environment. In clear, elegant language, Moore investigates how these interactions occur at every stage of biological and psychological development--from a single fertilized egg to a full-grown adult"--Publisher description.
