<p><font size="5">The &quot;Human Genome Project&quot; (HGP)</font><br />
<br />
<font size="4">It did contributed contribute much to biology. However, the amount of money used and the way it was done (process) were not the best example of performing scientific projects.<br />
<br />
1. Was it really a 'human' project?&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
No, it was not for the whole humanity. How much consideration was put in for&nbsp;all ethnic groups? It is more of a &quot;Caucasian Genome <strong>Sequencing</strong> Project&quot;.<br />
<br />
2. Was it very scientific?<br />
No, it was more commercially driven with commerical promises that eventually helped the biological stock market disaster and giving bad names to biological ventures.<br />
