Patterned somewhat loosely on Primo Levi's excellent book, The Periodic Table, in which 21 chemical elements are used as a theme for a series of short stories, Genome, by exploring each of the 23 pairs of chromosomes, attempts to give a brief synopsis of the human species.
Starting with the longest chromosome and — done so arbitrarily — proceeding to the shortest, Ridley tackles a series of themes which he believes to be representative of the human species — life, species, history, fate, environment, intelligence, etc. Ridley explores these themes by focussing on a gene that can be found on the relevant chapter/chromosome and tracing its function and evolution. In doing this he considers not only the chromosome in question and the genes it houses, but also how it relates to his overarching theme.
