"...many molecular biologists once thought the chemical information 
stored on DNA coded for the full complexity of living organisms. But a 
few years ago, the Human Genome Project revealed people have far too 
few genes (not many more than a roundworm) to account for the 
kaleidoscopic complexity of the human body. By itself, it appears, DNA 
cannot explain it any more than you can infer the United States 
Constitution from the traffic laws of Topeka. Somehow, biologists 
propose, higher-level ''organizational'' or ''emergent'' principles 
switch on at larger sizes, such as on the scale of proteins." (more at
