Abstract

“The Double Helix” is a book written by James Watson in 1968, where he depicts the series of events and breakthroughs that led to the discovery of the structure of deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA), the “molecule of life”. A few years before the book was published, the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine was awarded to James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins. However, this story has more to it than that. This review is a short comment on the book and the story behind the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine of 1962.
