Ecoversity TV: David Shenk: Beyond Nature V. Nurture

Author David Shenk At the Commonwealth Club
For half a century, science has taken it as an article of faith that the DNA in our genes directly orchestrate and determine the expression of proteins. But this is actually not the case. Shenk takes us beyond the 'nature v. nurture' debate to see what is really happening when it comes to genetic inheritance and the question of 'giftedness'. "We can impact our own genes . . . " Take heart, fans of Lamarck!
David Shenk has written for The Atlantic, National Geographic, Slate, PBS, NPR, Harper's, The New Yorker, and The New York Times, and has published 6 books.
See Shenk's latest book, 'The Genius in All of Us' At Amazon .
