Reviews

"This 'short' history has been compiled with great clarity and style. It constitutes a major work of great scholarship and provides the reader and the greater genetics community with a unique insight into the history of their subject. The author is to be congratulated for collating and documenting so much crucial information...before it becomes lost in the mists of time. If future generations can learn from the mistakes of the past, most notably those relating to eugenics and mischievous political interference, then this tour de force will have done us all a great service." – Human Genetics
