The Book of Man tells the story of one of mankind's greatest oddyseys. It is a quest that is leading to a new understanding of what it is to be a human being and it is being carried out under the auspices of the Human Genome Project - the massive international research effort aimed at delineating the exact molecular composition of the genes that make up Homo Sapiens. It is biology's answer to the Apollo Space Programme, and one that seemed a far distant dream when first proposed twenty years ago. Walter Bodmer and Robin McKie describe both the scientific challenges that have been overcome in bringing genetics to this remarkable state and the difficulties that still lie ahead. This tape is the story of mankind's greatest voyage - a voyage that is changing all our lives.
