The genes that make up your body have been evolving since life first began as unicellular blobs floating in shallow seas 3 billion years ago. They transitioned through various forms and our ancestors included many small, furry animals that looked more like squirrels than people. Before them, our forefathers didn’t even have hair, they lived the life aquatic as fish. We are the product of a vast genetic process that is still ongoing to this day. Though beautiful, this process has left us with a few questionable traits. Why do we walk upright, destroying our spines and knees? How did humans become one of the only animals that can’t produce their own Vitamin C? How exactly does the human body work? This bookey will take us on a journey through our genetic history, answering these questions and helping you better understand the home of all people, the human body.
