The Mystery in Our Cells: A Journey Through Inheritance

When Carl Zimmer's wife became pregnant, a routine visit to a genetic counselor changed everything. Faced with questions about his family's medical history, Zimmer realized how little he understood about what exactly we inherit from our ancestors. This moment of uncertainty launched him on a fascinating journey to unravel the true meaning of heredity. What we discover alongside him is that inheritance extends far beyond the DNA in our cells-it encompasses microbiomes, epigenetic markers, cultural knowledge, and even altered environments that shape who we become. The story of heredity isn't just about genes; it's about the complex tapestry of biological and cultural factors that make us who we are. From the inbred jaws of Habsburg monarchs to the cutting-edge possibilities of CRISPR technology, the question "What do we inherit?" reveals itself to be far more intricate-and fascinating-than most of us ever imagined.
