Love learning about life. How do scientists know all this stuff? Some of the science in this book was in too much detail for me and this is in graphic form. The premise is an alien race is studying humanity because they are having problems with inherited diseases because they reproduce asexually. Asexual reproduction is basically cloning. The alien scientist is explaining how sexual reproduction works and its benefits to his world’s leader.
The last chapter that talks about how knowledge of genetics can be used in the future and how it can tell us about the past is most interesting. A good book to skim.
