Why read it?

1 author picked Eight Day of Creation as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I really enjoyed this book and have found it a wonderful reference, mapping the history of the quest for trying to figure out how biological information is stored (in the form of DNA in chromosomes), and how biological information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins.

The book is long and exhaustive, but it’s one of my favorites!

From David's list on the history of heredity and DNA.
