Steve Jones (1) (1944–)

This was read a few years ago, but my notes say that I had four books by this author - the first I gave up about a third in, the second (this one, about the Y chromosome) I struggled through to the end, the third I read some bits and skimmed others, and the fourth even more so.

I don't know how he manages to make an interesting subject boring and in places obscure, so I still don't really understand the difference between genes, chromosomes and how e.g. mitocondrial DNA can cause developmental problems when it is meant to be separate from the other DNA and is forms each cell's energy factory. So I will have to stay mystified until I can find someone who explains it a lot better than this author!… (altro)
