Why do most of us stop growing in our teens – while others just keep going? Why do some us have heads of red hair – and others no hair at all? The human genome, we are told, makes us what we are. But how?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArmand Marie Leroi takes us to the extremes of human mutation – from the grotesque to the beautiful, and often both at the same time – to explain how we become what we are. Through the tales of long-lived Croatian dwarves, ostrich-footed Wadoma tribesmen, sex-changing French convent girls, and many more wonders of human development, Leroi has written a brilliant narrative account of our genetic grammar and people whose bodies have revealed it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Armand Marie Leroi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46895178907797,"sku":"9780006531647","price":26.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780006531647_f59c5eb9-3137-4c5e-bc2b-345984159d88.jpg?v=1776888414","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780006531647","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
