== Life by the Numbers == http://tlc.discovery.com/tlcpages/human/numbers.html Another baby is born, 3 kilograms of potential. Its body is a collection of assorted chemicals: 10% protein, 10% fat, 1% sugar and 75% water. Their assembly has been orchestrated by the 100,000 genes the baby has inherited from its parents. These have determined what it has become, and they will continue to organize its body throughout life.
