À propos de cet audio
Around 250,000 people have had their genomes sequenced, and scientists expect that number to rise to one billion by 2025. Professor Steven J. Heine argues that the first thing we will do on receiving our DNA test results is to misinterpret them completely. Despite breathless (often lightly researched) media coverage about newly discovered "cancer" or "divorce" or "IQ" genes, the prospect of a DNA test forecasting how your life is going to turn out is vanishingly small.
In DNA Is Not Destiny, Heine shares his research - and his own genome sequencing results - to not only show what your genes can actually tell you about your health, intelligence, ethnic identity, and family, but also highlight the psychological biases that make us so vulnerable to the media hype. Heine's fresh, surprising conclusions about the promise, and limits, of genetic engineering and DNA testing upend conventional thinking and reveal a simple, profound truth: your genes create life - but they do not control it.

debunking myths and teaching critical thinking!
I am a psyc undergrad. genetics is everywhere in the lectures and yet nowhere to be truly understood. the subject is oversimplified for the sake of focusing on other things (such as action potentials on neurons or behavioural abnormalities). i met Dr Heine (the author) in person and was inspired to go deeper into his work, which is by far the best decision ever made this year. the book is fascinating and engaging. you don't have to be a psych or biology student to be able to grasp what Dr Heine has to say. if it's too big of a read and you don't have time, audible is a great choice. I listened to it while doing chores and commuting.
