Rick Hayden's brother, Keith, a prominent zoologist at NYU, walks out of his office one day and disappears. The only clue they have is his brother's book, which mentions "the God Gene."

It became a key player in brain development--specifically creativity--and laymen started calling it "the God...

When Jennifer Doudna was a sixth grader in Hilo, Hawaii, she came home from school one afternoon and found a book on her bed.
