This book will also tell you how scientists figured out that genes exist how Hitler used the existence of genetic science to justify killing Jews and Gypsies and how your environment affects your genome. ![]() Finally you’ll wonder at challenges faced by sequencing the entire human genome and consider what society should do with modern-day genomics given its ethical implications. You’ll learn about early gene exploration that led up to eugenics during World War II. To better understand the future, let’s turn back time and look at how scientists came to learn about genes in the first place. We still have a lot to learn about genes and how they work, but we know that as our knowledge grows and we push deeper into ways to modify them, these discoveries will have significant consequences for human life. With the rise of supercomputers, genetics has made huge strides. This field began with humble beginnings, but it has grown into a major science. ![]() It’s clear that genetics is the key to understanding life itself. Genetics has shaped the way we view medicine and biology. ![]()
