3,5 stars.
I read this book as supporting material for my anthropological research to get a better understanding of how genetic material works.
I didn't find as much information as I expected from such a comprehensive study.
This lengthy book contains detailed information about the biological aspects of genetics but when it comes to practical explanation of basic mechanisms of inheritance the explanations are cursory, sometimes contradicting or simply misleading.
