Evolution of Sameness and Difference

Evolution of Sameness and Difference: Perspectives on the Human Genome Project is written for physicians, biologists and students who are interested in the problem of how sameness and difference in living things are controlled normally - in the course of development and maintenance - and abnormally - in the course of defective growth, tumors and cancer. The premise of the book is that sameness and difference, like everything else in life, have changed, and that an understanding of those changes will help us learn to control abnormalities such as those associated with birth defects and invasive, destructive tumors.
