In this incisive book, a distinguished geneticist has succeeded in relating the extraordinary biological discoveries of the last two decades to the basic questions about the origin and evolution of life on earth. The "molecular revolution" in biology--culminating in the discovery of the relations of the giant molecules of living matter--the operation of the genetic code, and the relational order in the biological world are all considered.
Originally published in 1969.
