Synopsis

If you share most of the same genetic material, what makes you so different from your siblings? How much are the things you choose to do everyday determined
by your genes and how much is your own free will?

Drawing on his own cutting-edge research of identical twins, leading geneticist Tim Spector shows us how the same upbringing, the same environment,
and even the same exact genes can lead to very different outcomes. Challenging, entertaining, and enlightening, Identically Different helps us understand what makes each of us unique and so quintessentially human.
