Abstract

Review of: Harris. J.R. (2006). No Two Alike. Human Nature and Human Individuality. [Trad.: No hay dos iguales. Individualidad humana y naturaleza humana (2015). Madrid: Funambulista. 482 pp. ISBN: 978-84-943026-6-4. Depósito legal: M -36933-2041.]

Judith Rich Harris’ book “No two alike” tries to answer one difficult question: why are we how we are, why even siblings who have been similarly educated and share similar gens are different. If someone had ever asked this, the author, working almost like a detective, will offer him or her some answers based in our gens, in our unique interactions with others and in the way we elaborate all the information we get from those around us.
