Synopsis
A human cell is dividing. 46 chromosomes are now doubling to 92, each half is moving to the pole, and finally we can see two new bone cells. By this arrangement, the memory of life on earth has been making a long history as it is passed down from one generation to another. This work was the first in the world to record mammalian generating. When this film was screened at the Academy of Infertility of USA, it caught the attention of the TIME LIFE magazine, which eventually published over 4 pages of information from the film.
