Quotes Tagged “Genes”

“ Good genes” and “bad genes” are a kind of myth. What genes are – and what they are not – are often obscured by a lack of accurate information. They’re very, very small, but genes are physical things. Genes don’t have a soul, any more than a single cell does, or a hand, foot or eyeball does. ”
