"Most books on scientific subjects addressed to the general public are written ffrom the inside looking out - that is to say, from the viewpoint of the scientist looking out, and not infrequently down, to the reader. This book is written from the outside looking in - from the viewpoint of a layman peering into the laboratories of the scientists (in this case those concerned with the study of human heredity) and reporting back to others what he has seen, heard and learned. The two viewpoints differ in many respects, and especially is this true of the subject her dealt with. The scienbtist studying heredity is preoccupied chiefly with the processes by which the findings in his field were achieved and which pave the way for future discoveries. When, and if, he stops to consider the practical aspects of his dcience in relation to human life, he is inclined to think in terms of broad averages, of large masses and may generations, and of individuals as mere fragments in a limitless mosaic. But the layman is interestee primarily in himself and in the immediate application of the scientifc findings to his own life and to his own little world which will come to and end when he passes on. The difference inviewpoints underlies the motivation and, I hope, the justification for this book. Had any scientist made easily available to me all the facts about human heredity which I wished to know, and which many years of writing for the general public have taught me that others wish to know, this book would never have been written, nor should I have had the temerity to think of writing it. When I began my study of the subject, it was solely with the practical purpose of utilizing some facts about human heredity in a projected work of fiction. Before very long I discovered that the findings in this field so completely shattered my own preconceived notions and the ideas held by all but an initiated few, as to obliterate my original plans. I became convinced that the most interesting and important task before me was to acquire as thorough a knowledge of this subject as I could and then, in some way, to communicate what I had learned to others. The subsequent steps included my enrolment (at a mature age) for a college course in genetics and the setting aside of all otehr activity for several years to devote myself to further study and research. The first fruits came with a series of articles on human hereditys which I wrote for a popular magazine." - excerpt from the Preface by the author and illustrator, Amram Scheinfeld.
