Charles Darwin's foremost biographer, Janet Browne, delivers a vivid and accessible introduction to the book that permanently altered our understanding of what it is to be human.

And Darwin's seminal work is nearly as controversial today.

With rapid advances in genomic technologies, genetic testing has become a key part of both clinical practice and research.
