Description
In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the double-helix structure of DNA, laying the foundation for modern genetics and molecular biology. However, the story of this discovery is not as simple as it seems. Leading medical historian Markel tells about five scientists whose names stand behind this greatest scientific breakthrough: James Watson, Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, Maurice Wilkins, and Linus Pauling.
The author places special emphasis on Rosalind Franklin’s role, touching on issues of male chauvinism, antisemitism, and injustice in the scientific world. This engrossing narrative is about a tense chase for truth, complex personal relationships, and life’s mysteries that go beyond biology.
