In Genetics of Original Sin, Belgian Biochemist Christian de Duve (Nobel Prize in Medicine 1974) explores the evolutionary course of human nature, its origins, and future prospects.
Moving across the full spectrum of concepts established by modern Biological research, he philosophizes about our place in the Universe. In his narrative, he contrasts scientific evidence against the dogmatism and prejudices of contemporary societies.
Through a phylogenetic, molecular, and anthropological journey, he concludes that the only entity capable of offsetting the genetic burden inherited from natural selection (the "genetic Original Sin") and acting as a "Redeemer" is humanity itself, with education, wisdom, and reason—the faculties of the human brain.
