On the other hand, Anthropologist Jonathan Marks at Yale is very critical
of the project -- not in terms of its technology, but in terms of its lack
of vision. He feels that the most significant lack in the project is an
appreciation for the enormous diversity that exists in human (and nonhuman)
biological characteristics. His is a very important voice to add to this
discussion.
