Description
This volume shows how genetics is done, by incorporating a human emphasis and by highlighting the role of geneticists, and provides historical and biographical insights into the people and events that have made genetics a pre-eminent science. Human genetics is treated at all levels - classical, molecular and population. It aims to provide a balance between concepts and experimental detail, using experiments to help explain "how" and "why" concepts were developed.
