Jacques Monod (1910–1976) was a French biochemist and Nobel laureate who revolutionized molecular biology with his work on enzyme regulation and the operon model. He was also a philosopher of science, known for his existentialist views and his book 'Chance and Necessity', which argued for the primacy of chance in evolution and the absence of cosmic purpose.
