I'm looking for Who discovered it? What clarified their findings? When they discovered it? Where they discovered it? How they arrived at the conclusion that the DNA of the human body was in a double helix structure? and last but not least...Why could they not be wrong in their findings? or were their findings just unproven theoretical computations that someone pushed forward to fill in the blank questionable areas in science that man had no answers for?

I ask these questions because I have a theory that expands the possibilities of the HUMAN DNA...instead of a double helix DNA...that it might be a triple helix DNA...

If you have any questions about why I think that there is a possibility of a Triple Helix... instead of a Double Helix...write me and I'll answer...(RNDMRRS@YAHOO.COM)

Many were working on discovering exactly what the DNA Structure was. At first, two men by the name of Watson and Crick were credited and even given the Nobel Prize for supposedly discovering the double helix. In reality, it was later credited, a woman by the name of Rosalind Franklin had originally discovered the double helix and was given credit. Her two collegues (Watson and Crick) had stolen her idea, so to speak.

Watson and Crick published their finding April 25, 1953. To find the double helix model, the used x-ray crystallography data and the data produced by Rosalind Franklin.

f James D. Watson and Francis Crick ( together with Rosalind Franklin) discovered the structure of the DNA molecule in the 1950s, for which they were awarded the 1962 Nobel prize award, along with Maurice Wilkins.

Read "The Double Helix: A Personal Account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA" by James D. Watson (first published in 1968)

The people responsible for the discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA were Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, Linus Pauling, James Watson and Maurice Wilkins.

However, Franklin did not realize that Watson and Crick were racing to publish first, which they did on the 18th of March, 1953, so beating her because she had not published.

It was at Eagle Hotel, Bene’t Street, Cambridge
where Crick announced with Watson the discovery of DNA
with the words, “...we had found the secret of life”
Saturday, 28th February, 1953.

The Watson and Crick paper entitled “A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid” written on the 2nd of April, 1953 and published in “Nature” on the 25th April, 1953.

In 1962 Watson, Crick and Wilkins received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

The double helix is the structure of DNA as first published by James D. Watson and Francis Crick in 1953.

i think of it is the argument from lack of know-how back. "i don't understand how this could have got here approximately, subsequently God," maximum human beings of modern scientists have not any concern on account that DNA may be the consequence of common chemical procedures. Crick replace into engaged on DNA over 50 years in the past. If DNA replace into made with the aid of a god, why does the copying mechanism circulate incorrect so oftentimes? Why does undesirable copying deliver approximately delivery defects incompatible with existence so oftentimes? Why does it introduce deleterious mutations? you will think of that if a god made it, it could be appropriate. it is a techniques from appropriate. It gets the activity carried out, yet no person in his suitable suggestions thinks it is so faultless that purely a god could have made it.

It was Watson and Crick in 1953. Here's a link to their paper.

Hope this helps.
