Human Genome Project Reflection Paper 1 The history of mankind has traditionally been filled with curiosity about one’s abilities and limitations. We are narcissistic by nature and have a need to expand one’s knowledge base more and more every day. The Human Genome Project (“HGP”) is an example of such a curiosity. HGP is a research effort with the goal of taking the human DNA and determining the location of an estimated 100‚000 strains of genes. The genes will then be arranged into sequences

The field of behavioral genetics strives to understand how and why we develop the way we do. Behavioral genetics seeks to find how not only heredity‚ but also environment‚ plays a role in the development of human beings. The field has evolved quite a bit in the last few years. Studying genetics helps us to be able to predict future behaviors and also potentially help us to use genetic engineering. Since the study of behavioral genetics can potentially lead us down the road of genetic engineering
