Nature's Gifts

With examples replete from Africa and especially South Africa, Wilmot James draws on established biological science to tell some compelling stories about the genome, why we have different skin colours, how blood tells a special story of human history, why the brain likes music, how smell works, the nature of rock art, why kids love bugs and the teaching of evolution. James gives an account of a great South African scientist called Eddie Roux who was known more for his politics, and of an extraordinary naturalist Eugene Marais who became known more for his Afrikaans poetry. The book is based on the fact that there is one unified science with extraordinary powers of interpretation. Wilmot James is an honorary professor in the division of human genetics at the University of Cape Town, the Department of Sociology at the University of Pretoria, and a visiting research professor at Open University in the United Kingdom.
