About the Author

Russell Bonduriansky is a distinguished evolutionary biologist and professor at the University of New South Wales, where he explores the intricate mechanisms shaping life's diversity. With a focus on how non-genetic factors influence inheritance and evolution, Bonduriansky challenges traditional views of heredity, emphasizing the role of parental effects, epigenetics, and environmental interactions. His groundbreaking research has illuminated the ways in which traits are passed across generations beyond DNA alone, offering fresh perspectives on evolutionary theory. In his acclaimed book Extended Heredity: A New Understanding of Inheritance and Evolution, he synthesizes decades of scientific inquiry into an accessible narrative that bridges complex biology with profound implications for understanding human health, ecology, and the future of life on Earth. Bonduriansky's work continues to inspire scientists and readers alike to rethink the foundations of evolution.
