Interesting, ohm...I might have sold your parents...your edition of Encyclopedia Britannica...at the time...I was trying to put two and two together...so I could eat...It wasn't until 1952...that they discovered the helial appearance of the DNA strand...which was claimed at the time went back as far as 400 million years ago.
When I was eleven years old ...I was busy trying to claim Dorothy Brennan as a girlfriend...that didn't work out either.
