Beyond Inheritance
Roxanne Khamsi
Riverhead Books, $30.00
It’s easy to think of the human body as a single, fully integrated unit. After all, stub your toe all the way at one end of your body, and your brain registers it at the other. A suite of muscles works together to hop up-and-down and the lungs fill with air to expel curses from your mouth. In this moment, your body is one organism, one set of cells all pulling together against the world — and whatever it was that hurt your toe.
