Welcome to Litsy!

My book haul from the #betterworldbooks New Years sale. There are three more coming. #nocontrol #sorrynotsorry

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book looks at many of the discoveries around genetic heredity but also touches on the ways concepts of heredity have influenced human society and what our new knowledge might change. I leant towards the arts in school so my knowledge of biology is slim and this filled in lots of knowledge gaps. It starts from the earliest ideas around heredity, ⬇️

I am thoroughly enjoying this book! But I must admit the size of it gave me pause when my library hold came in 😂😂😂 657 pages but luckily nearly 100 of them are notes and indexes.
I received another chunkster at the same time but I figured I could only get through one of them and this one won. Sorry “Hild” I‘ll be back for you one day.

Started this one over the weekend. 700 pages and a library book. Wish me luck to finish before it expires!

Thanks @MelissaSue81 for the intro to it!

I checked this one out via Libby from my local library and love it. Nonfiction tends to take me (much) longer to read. I like to digest the information in little bits and drive my loved ones crazy rehashing what I learn. 😂 Time ran out on this one. It's about genetics/heredity--the history, key figures, and interesting implications. I think I might need to buy it. 😉

For a 20 hour long audiobook about a scientifically complex topic, this was really fascinating. There was a lot of different areas covered, and I can‘t say I fully understood all of it, but basically we don‘t know what we think we know about Genetics, ancestry, and heredity.

I‘m in DC for a meeting right now. We came out of the meeting and into the crazy awesomeness of the Pride Parade. Also, I might have visited 2 bookstores so far (Kramerbooks and Solid State Books). I leave tomorrow but might make my way to another one or two before I go. 😉

1. She Has Her Mother‘s Laugh and The Wangs vs. the World
2. The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs 🦕
3. A Crack in Creation

I‘m on a biology bender 😂🤷‍♀️

Packed with interesting content. If you are interested in science behind ancestry, this is your read. There is a ton of good stuff here.
