Steve Jones (biologist) Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

Steve Jones (born March 24, 1944) is Professor of Genetics at University College, London, a television presenter and a prize-winning author on the subject of biology, especially evolution. He ranks with Richard Dawkins as one of the most significant writers on evolution. Jones's popular writing shows a wry, sometimes rather dark, sense of humour.

Jones was born in Aberystwyth, Wales, and has degrees from the University of Edinburgh and University of Chicago. Much of his research has been concerned with snails and the light their anatomy can shed on the subject of biodiversity and genetics. His book 'In the blood' explores, confirms and debunks some commonly held beliefs about inheritances and genetics. Topics explored cover issues as diverse as The Lost Tribes, European Royal Families and haemophilia.
