Description
The New Science of Human Individuality by David J. Linden As a scientist, David Linden spent years studying the commonalities of the human brain. However, a chance encounter on a dating app led him to wonder: what makes each person unique? Linden explores the complex interplay between our genetic blueprints and life experiences to reveal the intricate factors that shape our individuality. From the foods we eat to the diseases we've had, and the bacteria that reside in our bodies, Linden shows how our unique combination of genetic and environmental influences creates the person we are today. This thought-provoking book sheds new light on the intricacies of human existence, with implications for our understanding of morality, public policy, and our daily lives.
