Jonathan Weiner's relation of a century of research teasing into view DNA's mechanisms for guiding behaviour is a brilliant piece of science writing.
Weiner clearly values the effort invested in the research by Benzer, Tim Tully, Chip Quinn, and, of course, the paramount figure of all, Thomas Hunt Morgan who, with Alfred Sturtevant, initiated the work so long ago.
Although Weiner sticks to his promised subject matter about as much as a 'period' fly manages to get up at the same time every morning (ie somewhat randomly), he does gives us a fascinating oversight into the way we arrived at our current explosion of knowledge in genetics.
