Abstract:
The essay thematizes historiographical problems of research on recent history of science on the example of the history of molecular biology. First, a short survey of the history of molecular biology and its possible periodization is given. Second, the parallel development of the work of historians on the emergence of molecular biology is analyzed. Finally, a suggestion for further historical research is made that takes into account three different time perspectives: short range, middle range, and long-term.
