Would it have made any difference to the acceptance of the theory of evolution if DNA had been discovered before the publishing of the theory? The discovery of DNA and its role in providing what seems to me to be an explanation of the connection of life on the planet is becoming more and more evident. This would have been able to provide a framework for the philosophical as well as the scientific explanation of the origin of species, if not the origin of life-- (though maybe even that eventually). Please tell me if that is nonsense, FF and others.
