The making of you : the incredible journey from cell to human / by Vestre, Katharina,author.(CARDINAL)814857; Bagguley, Matt,1971-translator.(CARDINAL)823556; Vestre, Linnea,illustrator.(CARDINAL)824172;
Includes bibliographical references."This enlightening and irresistible books explains how you were made--not with the standard enphemisms told to us as children, but with vivid, exacting prose that unveils all the complex processes we never knew produced human life. With a brilliant talent for thoughtful, charming science writing, Katharina Vestre takes us from cell to human and shares surprising facts along the way--such as that spermhave a sense of smell and that hiccups were likely inherited from our ancient, underwater ancestors. She also shows why gender is more complicated than we think and reveals questions scientists still can't answer about how we came to be. A miniature drama of cosmic significance, this is the incredible story of you."-- Book jacket.Preface -- The race -- The hidden universe -- The recipe for a human -- The invasion -- Natural clones and unknown twins -- The contours of a body -- Cell language for beginners -- The art of building a fruit fly -- An heirloom from the ocean -- Fleshing out the plan -- Sex and sea worms -- Secret preparations -- The brain's inner wanderings -- The senses -- A hairy past -- From water to air -- The end - or the beginning -- References.
