«Qué nos hace humanos» is the essay by Matt Ridley and Jaime Alvar Ezquerra, published by Punto de Lectura S.L. in paperback (544 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from the 2001 announcement that the human genome has about thirty thousand genes, Matt Ridley analyses how that figure forces a rethink of human behaviour. Faced with the dilemma between heredity and environment, Ridley proposes a complex interaction between genes and experience, and examines its implications for society and identity.
The Spanish edition of this work was published in 2005. ISBN 9788466315647.
Recommended for readers interested in biology, genetics and evolution, with an accessible popular science approach.
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.
