Scenarios about 'genetics'
The scientific study of genes, heredity, and genetic variation in living organisms, which emerged as a formal discipline after Mendel's work in the 19th century. Genetics has revolutionized our understanding of evolution, disease, and biological development through discoveries like DNA structure, genome mapping, and genetic engineering. In alternate history scenarios, different trajectories of genetic research could profoundly alter medicine, agriculture, human enhancement, and ethical frameworks governing biological manipulation.
What If The Human Genome Project Never Happened?
Exploring the alternate timeline where the ambitious international effort to map all human genes never materialized, dramatically altering the trajectory of modern medicine, biotechnology, and our understanding of human biology.
