Synopsis
The age-old question about what influences us more takes a decided turn toward the new, in a direction many scientists haven't considered. NATURE VIA NURTURE contends that Nature (genetics) is itself geared toward working with Nurture (rearing). Underpinning his point with exhaustive research and some technical language, Ridley presents a compelling new take on this unresolved debate.

Publisher's Note

February, 2001, it was announced that the human genome contains not 100,000 genes, as originally expected, but only 30,000. This startling revision led some scientists to conclude that there are simply not enough human genes to account for all the different ways people behave; we must be made by nurture, not nature. Yet again biology was to be stretched on the Procrustean bed of the nature-nurture debate. Matt Ridley argues that the emerging truth is far more interesting than this myth. Nurture depends on genes, too, and genes need nurture. Genes not only predetermine the broad structure of the brain, they also absorb formative experiences, react to social cues, and even run memory. They are consequences as well as causes of the will.

Nature Via Nurture chronicles a revolution in our understanding of genes. Ridley recounts the hundred years' war between the partisans of nature and nurture to explain how this paradoxical creature, the human being, can be simultaneously free-willed and motivated by instinct and culture.

Read by Matt Ridley.



Industry reviews
"This is not an easy read, but fans of his earlier book (GENOME), and readers looking for a challenging read will find this an engrossing story of what makes us who we are."
