Book Review “She Has Her Mother’s Laugh” by Carl Zimmer Heredity has long defined us. Now we are defining it. A his- toric transformation in our un- derstanding of life is taking place today. Carl Zimmer’s masterwork “She Has Her Mother’s Laugh: The Power, Perversions and Po- tential of Heredity,” illuminates this transformation like no other book before. In a narrative that reads like a sweeping novel, Zimmer weaves together tales of scientific advance and pseudoscientific poison, he- roes and villains, reflections on being a father to two daughters, analyses of his own genome re- vealing curious distant ancestors and investigative reporting into cutting-edge discoveries that will shape the lives of all children to come. Zimmer shows how our con- cepts of heredity have long been a powerful force affecting all economies, politics and cultures. Heredity determined how crowns and thrones were passed down through the generations. Genetics revealed in profound detail how diseases and traits like eye color and intelligence were in- fluenced by heredity. But heredity flows through other channels as well — from cultural practices to the environments we built around ourselves and our descendants. With a surprise on almost every page, from the first use of the Lat- in word hereditas by the Romans to Darwin’s theory and Mendel’s Law, to the deeply disturbing rise of eugenics in the 20th century, to revelations regarding the mi- crobiome and epigenetics, all the way to the rapid rise of CRISPR gene-editing technology, “She Has Her Mother’s Laugh” is both a defining moment in biology and a work of wit and erudition poised for a transgenerational life in our culture ecosystem.
