An accessible contribution to what the author calls 'genetic literacy' and a satisfyingly hard-edged work of popular science. This brilliant, invaluable book sets straight crucial matters of heredity and environment and their interaction--and does so in lively and lucid prose.--Richard Nisbett, author of Mindware Steven Heine is one of the leading cultural psychologists in the world.... a trustworthy guide through the moral minefield of genetic differences.--Jonathan Haidt, author of The Righteous Mind

Reseña del editor:

Around 250,000 people have had their genomes sequenced and scientists expect that number to rise to one billion by 2025. Steven J. Heine argues that the first thing we will do on receiving our DNA test results is to misinterpret them completely. In DNA Is Not Destiny, Heine shares his research to not only show what your genes can 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.
