Abstract

What is the origin of life? How did man develop? What controls evolution? These are the questions that, incredibly, molecular biologists and biochemists have answered in the past decade. For with the decipherment of the genetic code and the unravelling of the molecular structure of DNA and RNA the elementary mechanisms of evolution have at last been precisely identified.
