Hardcover. Condizione: As New. This book explores how minor life events and choices, along with ancestral decisions and inherited genes, shape our individuality. It addresses questions like what differentiates you from your siblings, why you hold certain beliefs, or how lifestyle choices impact health. Through compelling case studies of identical twins, Tim Spector reveals findings from his extensive twenty-year research, demonstrating that even genetically identical individuals can lead vastly different lives. He challenges the notion that our traits are hard-wired, presenting groundbreaking discoveries in genetics. Spector discusses intriguing phenomena, such as the Dutch becoming the tallest nation, the heritability of autism compared to breast cancer, and the surprising health outcomes between identical twins with differing lifestyles. He argues that we are not merely products of our genes but dynamic beings, shaped by a multitude of factors that can change over time. Many of our differences may stem from chance or fate, and as scientific understanding advances, we can become more engaged in the process of shaping ourselves. This exploration ultimately seeks to illuminate the complexities of human identity and the unique qualities that define us.
