In her new book, the scientist examines the role of fate in our lives, how our politics are formed and sniffing out Mr Right
Dr Hannah Critchlow is a neuroscientist at the University of Cambridge. Her debut book, The Science of Fate , examines how much of our life is predetermined at birth and to what extent we are in control of our destiny.
How has the slow march of scientific research affected our concept of
fate? On one hand, we know more about how genetics drives our lives, yet we
also have more good evidence for things that we can do to shape our own
outcomes .
This concept of fate and destiny has around since the Greeks – it threads
through different cultures and is deeply rooted in the way that we speak
today; for instance, we often say that babies are born destined for greatness.
