For decades, geneticists have been puzzled by families where both of the parents are short, or of normal stature, but some of the children — even all of the children — are tall. This book presents a solution to the enigma, and it comes from an unlikely source: a theory of personality based on genetic traits. It shows that a mechanism, based on classical genetics, can explain very complicated families where there are short parents, but very tall children alongside of children of normal stature. The author uses case examples to derive the solution to the puzzle. Here you will meet Sylvester and Wendy, Yevgeny who works in the Kremlin, and the Estonian sea captain, Feliks. The illustrative examples show how the dissimilarity of stature in families can have a precise genetic cause. The cause is shown to come from both the father’s and mother’s side of the family, and is not due to recessive genes or to some vagabond gene from one side of the family. ePub, 90 pp., synopsis, glossary, illus. with photos, tables.
