tory."
Of course, the Human Genome Project was to benefit

not only medical and genetic engineers, but various profession-
als in all fields. But an equally, if not more important result was
the insight it provided about the origins of DNA. In a news item
headlined "Human Genome Map Has Scientists Talking About the
Divine" in the San Francisco Chronicle, this was explained by Gene
Myers, who worked for Celera Genomics, the producer company
of the project:

We're deliciously complex at the molecular level. We don't under-
stand ourselves yet, which is cool. There's still a metaphysical . . . el-
ement. What really astounds me is the architecture of life. The
system is extremely complex. It's like it was designed. There's a
