It sure does, and they really should have known better. Before this genome project was taken up, we knew there had to be something else. We knew for example that cells must be communicating with each other in some way. We knew that some processes in life were triggered and shut off such as the two sets of teeth humans get, puberty and even old age. We also knew that while each cell has the same set of genes they end up doing different things and that there had to be some way, something telling each cell what its job was to be. We also knew that each individual is a biological system with numerous interconnected functions and that genes alone were not a sufficient answer.
