Dr. Harper has researched the history of genetics and has had personal contact with a host of key figures whose memories and experiences extend back 50 years, and he has interviewed and recorded conversations with many of these important geneticists. Thus, rather than being a conventional history, this book transmits the essence of the ideas and the people involved and how they interacted in advancing- and sometimes retarding- the field. From the origins of human genetics; through the contributions of Darwin, Mendel, and other giants; the identification of the first human chromosome abnormalities; and up through the completion of the Human Genome project, this \u003cem\u003eShort History\u003c\/em\u003e is written in the author's characteristic clear and personal style, which appeals to geneticists and to all those interested in the story of human genetics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46885361713303,"sku":"9780195187502","price":5642.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780195187502.webp?v=1770247286","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-short-history-of-medical-genetics-9780195187502","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
