Mutants explores the important role played by the study of mutation in our attempts to understand the human body. Early researchers sought out deformity and monstrosity to help understand the complexities of the human body and its development. But only now in the age of genetic sequencing are we truly beginning to understand the complex interactions that go into building a human. During this series, presenter Armand Leroi follows in the footsteps of the 18th-century anatomists and carries the threads of their research down through the centuries to reveal the processes behind the human form. On the way he reveals a shocking truth: we are all mutants.
