'''''Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters''''' is a 1999 [[popular science]] [[book]] by the science writer [[Matt Ridley]], published by Fourth Estate. The chapters are numbered for the pairs of human [[chromosomes]], one pair being the X and Y [[sex chromosome]]s, so the numbering goes up to 22 with Chapter X and Y couched between Chapters 7 and 8.
The book was welcomed by critics in journals such as ''[[Nature (journal)|Nature]]'' and newspapers including ''[[The New York Times]]''.<ref name=Kealey/><ref name=Silver/> The ''[[London Review of Books]]'' however found the book "at once instructive and infuriating", as "his right-wing politics lead him to slant the implications of the research.<ref name=Coyne/>
