Dieses Buch beleuchtet die Genetik als Fachgebiet von allen Seiten: Historische Aspekte und biographische Angaben zu bekannten Genetikern stehen in einer Reihe mit Ereignissen, die die Genetik in der Öffentlichkeit bekanntgemacht haben. Die Humangenetik - klassische, Molekular- und Populationsgenetik - wird anschließend ausführlich abgehandelt, wobei auch modernste Problemkreise aus der Krebs- und Genomforschung zur Sprache kommen.
