The first detailed map of a man&#39;s  genes shows the genetic code is even more complex than anyone  thought. For instance, science still cannot pinpoint what makes  a person&#39;s eyes blue.

MAN may have as few as 20,000 genes, just a fraction of previous estimates, an international consortium of scientists say in a report to be released today.

How many genes does it take to make a human? Only about the same number it takes for a small flowering plant or a tiny worm, says a new estimate that&#39;s sharply reduced from just three years ago.
