The Life We Created

Beth Shapiro is a renowned specialist in ancient DNA issues, conducting research on the DNA of mammoths, dodos, and other animals lost to us forever. In this book, she captivatingly discusses the impact of humans on the evolution of other... species. The debate over whether scientists should intervene in the course of life on Earth by crossbreeding different species for tastier, longer-lasting food and beautiful, easily trainable animals has lasted for several decades. Many of us oppose such intervention, considering it harmful and “unnatural.” However, by studying the past, we learn that representatives of the species Homo sapiens have intentionally influenced the evolution of living nature throughout their history. So perhaps we shouldn't fear genetically modified foods?
