Summary
Explores the fast-growing field of epigenetics and how a second chemical code controls how genes are turned on and off. Discusses how the interaction between genes, the environment, and these epigenetic influences leads to vastly different outcomes even for identical twins who share the same genetic code. Investigates how these hidden influences could not only affect our health today but also that of our descendants far into the future
