| Chapter 9: The Inheritance of Personality: Behavioral Genetics and Evolutionary Theory |
The media portrays the Human Genome Project as a small research project that seeks to map the human genome. It is so much more than that. Visit the website for the Human Genome Project (it is fascinating) and check-out your tax dollars at work. http://www.genome.gov/ You will find the "Health" link and the "Educational Resources" link on the top of the home page to be the most useful personally. The "Research" link will give you a good idea of the breadth of research funded under the umbrella of the Human Genome Project.
(You will probably also see a reminder on the Human Genome Project's home page to finish your family health tree!)
