Geneticist, Bryan Sykes, tackles the Y-chromosome in my current book Adam's Curse: A Future Without Men. I thought I was going to really hate this book due to its controversial nature, but so far I'm learning a lot. This is why it benefits to not judge a book by its cover. I'm sure the controversial stuff is soon to follow, but I'm keeping an open and analytical mind.
Sykes is a natural storyteller. This is definitely not textbook hum-drum. Rather, he takes the reader on a journey (cliché) through the history of scientific discovery regarding chromosomes and genes and how they work. It's not too lofty for the novice and not too dumbed down for the expert. It's just an enjoyable read.
So far.
