How is it that a human develops arms and a bird develops wings? Winged One illuminates the genetic mechanisms underlying limb development through a biology lecture and an animated world of replicating yarn DNA and lace and button proteins. By tweaking our genes a bit, can humans grow wings too? Fantasy takes off from here.
