Some time ago, you were a single cell. Now, you're ~35 trillion. Your trillions of cells all share the same DNA, half from mom and half from dad, yet perform functions as varied as perceiving music, digesting protein, and thinking. All in chaotic yet graceful coordination, to keep you alive.

In 1981, almost 30 years after Watson and Crick discovered the double helix structure of DNA, a Cambridge biologist named Rupert Sheldrake asked a question that all but got him exiled from mainstream science: How do cells coordinate to form exquisitely precise organs like hands, eyes, lungs, or brains? The short (but incomplete) answer is: DNA. The long answer remains a mystery, being worked on by two biologists whose work, in my opinion, validates Sheldrake's pioneering search.
