DNA as Myth |
|
The story of DNA as biologists present it to us is provocative: full of symmetries alluring to the mind and key to an encompassing understanding of what gives human beings (and all living creatures) our shape and being. | |
| Even if in the future it should be shown that DNA possesses none of the powers now attributed to it, for centuries to come the story of DNA would hold a place as one of mankind's great myths, equal to Beowulf or King Arthur or the Arabian Nights. | ||
