What Is the Secret of Life?

Michael Mosley reveals how humanity has frequently turned to introspective study in an effort to discover the secret of life. He begins by revealing how surgeons in Ancient Rome worked to save the lives of gladiators wounded in combat, and examines the anatomical drawings of Leonardo Da Vinci. He also investigates how the moral crisis of unleashing a nuclear bomb helped trigger one of the greatest breakthroughs in biology - understanding the structure and workings of DNA
