title: Ontogeny of an adventurous mind: the origin of Antonio García-Bellido's contributions to developmental genetics.
abstract: This interview with Antonio Garcia-Bellido explores three aspects of his work. First and foremost is the origin of his contributions: trying to define what allowed him to become a pioneer of developmental genetics. The second part deals with the nature of his major contributions, as seen by himself. In a third section he expresses his views on a number of subjects that relate mostly to the future of developmental biology and to evolution. A list of his most significant publications is appended as an annex.
