In \u003ci\u003eInnate\u003c\/i\u003e, leading neuroscientist and popular science blogger Kevin Mitchell traces human diversity and individual differences to their deepest level: in the wiring of our brains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeftly guiding us through important new research, including his own groundbreaking work, he explains how variations in the way our brains develop before birth strongly influence our psychology and behavior throughout our lives, shaping our personality, intelligence, sexuality, and even the way we perceive the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe all share a genetic program for making a human brain, and the program for making a brain like yours is specifically encoded in your DNA. But, as Mitchell explains, the way that program plays out is affected by random processes of development that manifest uniquely in each person, even identical twins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe key insight of \u003ci\u003eInnate\u003c\/i\u003e is that the combination of these developmental and genetic variations creates innate differences in how our brains are wired amp;mdash; differences that impact all aspects of our psychology amp;mdash; and this insight promises to transform the way we see the interplay of nature and nurture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HighBridge Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150473347312,"sku":"2940170214846","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170214846_p0.jpg?v=1763705656","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170214846","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
