                                             oo small to be seen with the naked eye,
                                        DNA serves as the data bank of our cells.
                                        Information about all the living things
                                        around you is concealed within this minia-

                                        turized data bank inside every cell of every
                                        organism. All the structural characteristics
                                        of a rose, an orange, a sparrow, a tiger or a
                                        human being are present in the nuclei of
                                        the cells that comprise these organisms. Lo-
                                        ok at your hand that is holding this book.
                                        These data stores exist in the nucleus of ev-
                                        ery single one of the cells that compose that
                                        hand.
                                             These DNA molecules are invisible to
                                        the naked eye but in terms of their contents
                                        and data-storage capacity, they are equal to

                                        a library consisting of tens of thousands of
                                        books. As you observe the miraculous as-
                                        pects of DNA, which can be seen only by
                                        magnifying it thousands of times, you will
                                        also appreciate how such minute essential
                                        component of life places the theory of evo-
