How is a tiny fertilised egg able to turn itself into a human being? How can an acorn transform itself into an oak tree? This work gives an account of these findings, and of their significance for how we view ourselves. Through a synthesis of science and art, it describes the revolution in our understanding of how plants and animals develop.
