Using a series of dialogues between the Greek philosopher Democritus and his disciple Alkimus, we travel through time visiting eminent scientists throughout the centuries, from Lazzaro Spallanzani and Theodor Boveri to Francis Crick, Max Perutz and Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard. We find ourselves at the intersection of competing theories in biology and witness the progression from the debunking the theory of spontaneous generation to the mapping of the genome. Attention is given not only to the great successes in the field but also to the equally important and exciting failures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in Hungarian, \u003cem\u003eThe Story of Genetics, Development and Evolution\u003c\/em\u003e provides a historical background to the life sciences, with complex scientific concepts stripped down and explained carefully for academics and anyone interested in going back to the roots and philosophies of scientific progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslated from: Jékely G \u003cem\u003eMaster, are you awake?
