Description
Take a look at any school classroom and you're faced with a pool of human diversity. Children of the same age will vary in face and form, colour and culture. Which of these differences are due to g...enetic factors and how might they be passed on from one generation to the next? This programme explores the genetic basis of some human traits - from the most obvious physical features to the subtlest of chemical differences that are the hallmarks of our genetic individuality.
