A leading neuroscientist explains why your personal traits are more innate than you think.

What makes you the way you are - and what makes each of us different from everyone else? In Innate, leading neuroscientist and popular science blogger Kevin Mitchell traces human diversity and individual differences to their deepest level: in the wiring of our brains.

Deftly 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.

We 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.

The key insight of Innate is that the combination of these developmental and genetic variations creates innate differences in how our brains are wired - differences that impact all aspects of our psychology - and this insight promises to transform the way we see the interplay of nature and nurture.

Tackles the concept of genetic predispositions in an engage, honest and understandable manner. Cheers Prof. Mitchell.

Doesn't sugarcoat, doesn't over simplify.

Rarely, for a science-heavy audio book, the narration is precise and follows a cadence indicating that the meaning is understood. This, combined with superbly clear writing makes complex concepts easy to take on board.

Clear and balanced

This book explains the origins and development of human behaviour. For me it confirms what I suspected over my long lifetime. A work of genius.

The best evidence I have ever heard or read

Interesting subject but spoiled by rapid narration. Subject areas covered in a depth that required a slower pace

Paper version probably better option

"Environment" in this book appears to be mostly determined as a set of events cognitively experienced by one, rather than absolutely everything that occurs outside a single event. In fact I'd go as far as to say the nature and dynamics of inheritance relies solely on environment. The author may touched on this briefly, but only incredibly superficially and failed to give proper gratitude to environment. The author made a ridiculous effort of giving into the tired argument of nature vs nuture, which is binary, overplayed, boring and most definitely not at all adequately descriptive of the human brain. Nicely written however.

Myopic
