| book description |

Full of fascinating and bizarre cases of genetic mutation and irregularity, â€˜Mutantsâ€™ is an amazing exploration of the human form in all its beautiful and unique guises. Why are most of us born with one nose, two legs, ten fingers and twenty-four ribs â€“ and some of us not? Why do most of us stop growing in our teens â€“ while others just keep going? Why do some us have heads of red hair â€“ and others no hair at all? The human genome, we are told, makes us what we are. But how? Armand Marie Leroi takes us to the extremes of human mutation â€“ from the grotesque to the beautiful, and often both at the same time â€“ 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.
