Excellent book!
- meowkit 2y ago+1 to Nick Lane I’ve only read The Vital Question, but I felt it was a great introduction to biochem for someone not in the field.
- pkghost 2y agoAbsolutely loved TVQ. The insight about mitochondrial DNA inheritance being exclusively from the mother, thus motivating female fingerprinting of male nucleic DNA for gamete viability (via courtship rituals, pheromones, plumage, etc)...
- rsync 2y agoCame here to recommend Power, Sex, and Suicide. It is a fascinating book.
- grantmuller 2y agoThe Vital Question covers this topic and is in general a really great basic education in biological energy production.
