Violinist’s Thumb - And Other Lost Tales of Love, War, And Genius as Written by Our Genetic Code - Sam Kean
Shared by:Hetaira
In The Disappearing Spoon, bestselling author Sam Kean unlocked the mysteries of the periodic table. In THE VIOLINIST’S THUMB, he explores the wonders of the magical building block of life: DNA.
There are genes to explain crazy cat ladies, why other people have no fingerprints, and why some people survive nuclear bombs. Genes illuminate everything from JFK’s bronze skin (it wasn’t a tan) to Einstein’s genius. They prove that Neanderthals and humans bred thousands of years more recently than any of us would feel comfortable thinking. They can even allow some people, because of the exceptional flexibility of their thumbs and fingers, to become truly singular violinists.
Kean’s vibrant storytelling once again makes science entertaining, explaining human history and whimsy while showing how DNA will influence our species’ future.

Sorry, I have 0 seeds for 2 of your torrents, Violinist’s Thumb and The Poison King. I added both books twice, each time it’s the same problem. I’d like to listen to them. The World without Us works fine. I don’t know what’s wrong.

Sorry you are having problems Migo. They are both active on my torrent and seeding. My upload rate is very, very slow. Not much I can do about that though. I have a bunch of audio that isn’t available here, but holding off on putting stuff up until the others are finished seeding.

I seem to have issues with these exact same two books; Violinist’s thumb seems to have stopped at 84% and The Poison King stopped at 16% :(
