Series examining the great scientific quests of the century.
At the turn of the century, Charles Darwin's theory of evolution was all but discredited - because he could not explain how characteristics pass from one generation to the next. The rediscovery of Gregor Mendel's work on the developing science of genetics seemed set to disprove the idea of natural selection once and for all. Professors Steve Jones, Richard Dawkins and John Maynard-Smith tell the story of the intellectual journey that firmly established Darwin's place in scientific orthodoxy.
