Genteic Immunity to Plague and AIDS

Fiorella is excited and awed by the cracking of the DNA code.  It's being used to track dinosaurs and dynasties, to solve crimes and send the perps off to jail, to establish and prove blood relationships.

More important, it's being used to understand what each of us carries within us, our individual genomes. Every day, the range gets more amazing.  Apparently there's a lot more we owe to nature than Mann dreamed of in his philosophy, Horatio.   But then, we knew that all along--if dogs can have inborn personality traits and talents, why not humans?
