Graham Hancock's SUPERNATURAL touches on the story of Francis Crick, the Cambridge astrobiologist who cracked the DNA code in the 1950s. Something Hancock points out is that in 2004, following Crick's death at the age of 84, it was revealed that Crick had regularly used LSD in his younger days (then still legal in this country),and that it was whilst on a trip that the structure of the DNA molecule was revealed to him.

Here is the general description of the book. I HAVE to own this! This, if as good as it sounds, would be like the bible of my studies.
Less than 50,000 years ago mankind had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no innovative thinking. Then, in a dramatic and electrifying change, described by scientists as ‘the greatest riddle in human history’, all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves appeared already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers. In SUPERNATURAL Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious ‘before-and-after moment’ and to discover the truth about the influences that shaped the modern human mind.
