Krátky popis
'Timely, important and compelling' Philip Ball'A new and stunning
argument' Azra RazaWhat defines who we are?Until now, the
biological answer has been our genes. Leading biologist Alfonso
Martinez Arias breaks with popular tradition to make a bold
argument: what defines us is our cells. Drawing on groundbreaking
research, he reveals that we are composed of a thrillingly complex,
constantly rearranging symphony of cells that know how to count,
feel, and give form to our bodies.While DNA is important, nothing
in your genes explains why your heart is on the left, why you have
five fingers and not ten, why genetically identical twins have
different sets of fingerprints, or why it's possible for a mother
to apparently share no DNA with the children she gave birth to! At
the heart of it all is a powerful new conception of the essence of
life. Our identities are shaped by the interconnections between
cells, working cooperatively, creating something greater than its
parts - the unbroken lineage that connects us to the fertilized egg
from which we developed and back through the billions of years of
our planet's history, to the very first cell of all life on Earth.
A sweeping revision of both the present and the history of life,
The Master Builder puts forward a new paradigm for understanding
biology, transforming our approach to where we come from, what
shapes us, and where we are going - as individuals, a species, and
the community of life itself.
