- (Ascent of Man, The series, Part 12) Genetics--Dr. Jacob Bronowski examines the complex code of human inheritance, DNA, from the experiments of pioneer geneticist Gregor Mendel to the discoveries of today's sophisticated laboratories. At Brno, Czechoslovakia, Mendel's garden-pea experiment is re-created to illustrate the laws of heredity that laid the foundation for genetics and therefore "all the modern life sciences." Examines the discovery of DNA molecules by James Watson and Francis Crick and cell division.
