Parallel worlds by Michio Kaku is pretty good, if you're into the history of string theory and/or the universe. I read it about 10 years ago, so I'm not sure if it's outdated nowadays.
The world without us by Alan Weisman talks about what would happen to the earth if we disappeared, it talks about engineering marvels like the hoover dam, NY subway system, and nuclear waste storage sites and what could happen to these if humans were not around the maintain them.
I'm looking for a book about space if anyone has a suggesting. Particularly books that talk about neutron stars and other cosmic wonders.
Our body at birth is determined by DNA.
Environment
You are affected by environment. E.g. if you are a miner, you have a higher chance of getting lung cancer. If you are hit by a car, you might loose your leg. While this is not inherited, your children have an elevated chance to be in the same environments (where they are miners or surrounded by cars). One might stretch it and claim that you inherit the environment (along with its consequences), therefore there is this meta-evolution level above genes.
Behaviour
You pickup behaviour from people who surround you. This is most important at the start of your life and you are usually surrounded by your parents. They play their favourite music and games, have their favourite books and watch their favourite shows. You might pick them up from them. They teach you their religion and their language and you'll probably pass those to your children as well.
Memetics
This is better described in the Memetics theory, which mirrors the biological Darwinism and is concerning memes as opposed to genes. Memes are ideas and they spread, similar to genes, by self-replication. They branch and alter and combine and evolve. The weak ideas are forgotten, while the strong ideas spread through population and adapt and survive for millenia.
If you are interested in this stuff, I cannot recommend highly enough The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins, which explains evolution extremely well, proposes the aforementioned Memetics theory, explains evolutionary reasons for altruism, various game strategies and so on.
