«Genoma: La autobiografía de una especie en 23 capítulos», by Matt Ridley, is a popular science essay published by Taurus in paperback (392 pages).
Starting from the human genome, Ridley devotes a chapter to each of the 23 pairs of chromosomes to trace the evolutionary history of humanity. He describes how genetic information has been transmitted, transformed, and refined over billions of years, and connects that inheritance to the origins of life and to the horizons of medicine.
The title belongs to Taurus's «Pensamiento» collection and was nominated for the Baillie Gifford Prize for non-fiction in 2000.
For the general public interested in popular science, genetics, and human evolution.
Matthew White Ridley, 5th Viscount Ridley, commonly known as Matt Ridley, is a British science writer, journalist and businessman. He writes on science, the environment and economics, and has been a regular contributor to The Times newspaper. Ridley was chairman of the UK bank Northern Rock from 2004 to 2007, during which period it experienced the first run on a British bank in 130 years. He resigned, and the bank was bailed out by the UK government; this led to its nationalisation.
