In this book, Denis Alexander argues that genes act as “difference makers,” not determinants, exploring how genetics interacts with environment, choice, and worldview across issues from mental health and BMI to free will and identity.
ISCAST Fellow Malcolm Buchanan recommends this book to “anyone seeking a thought-provoking exploration of human genetics.”
By emphasising the interplay of genetic influence with personal choice, epigenetics, and worldview, it offers rich material for classroom discussions—covering health and behaviour alongside deeper questions of free will and identity.
