Feature

★Shortlisted for the most important Italian prize for popular science books: Premio Galileo
★«It is said that cultural identity evolves the same way the biological identity evolves, but cultural identity is like a phoenix: we do know it exists, but we don’t know where it is.»

Description

Genetics is a subject that is often associated with the concept of destiny, considering certain determinist interpretations of the role played by genes that have been developed. Reality, however, is far more complex, and Genetics and Destiny explores the biological, moral and cultural identity of the human being, finding that space where biology, philosophy, literature and medicine meet. From Primo Levi to Mozart, form Charles Darwin to Achille Campanile, geneticist Alberto Piazza delivers a passionate work about identity, memory and ethics.

Author

Alberto Piazza is Professor Emeritus of Human Genetics at the University of Turin. He worked with Luca Luigi Cavalli-Sforza, with whom he published the fundamental Storia e geografia dei geni umani (Adelphi, 1997).
