Time, Love, Memory

Time, Love, Memory by Jonathan Weiner is an interesting bool about the origins genetics and behavior. The author begins by observing genes and the structure of DNA and it introduces Drosophila. Drosophila was made possible by combining a variety of theories in order to establish a final theory of genetics. Here scientists(students) were able to grasp the concept of genes and their ability of mutation. In order to reach the inner roots of genetics many were required to study the behavior of genes.Benzer worked on separating flies to determine the different natures of behavior. The experiments dealt with time and studies determined the importance of memory in a fly's genes and also love which was the ability to reproduce. In conclusion this book brings together ideas from all over the place in order to solve and answer one question. Working together incorporating ideas and theories helped these scientists determine the nature of life and how life comes about. This book not only informs us scientifically but it also sends a message to our world that motivated people with questions will find a way to answer their questions.
