 | Sir John E Sulston
one of the leaders of the Human Genome Project, and joint recipient of the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for his work on the genetic regulation of organ development and programmed cell death
Evolution
I should teach the world about evolution - as truth, insofar as we can comprehend it at the moment; as a realistic assessment of our position in the universe; and as a joyous celebration of our potential future. The catch is that we have to accept responsibility for the survival of the human race, instead of praying about it. The prize, if we can embrace this humanist philosophy, is an infinite and unimaginably exciting journey ahead of us. John Sulston is coauthor of The Common Thread: Science, Politics, Ethics and the Human Genome (buy this book from Amazon (UK) or Amazon (USA)).
