 As one of the first follow-ups to the original HGP, the HapMap project was a topic that often came up in discussions of the legacy of the HGP. Such discussions became especially prominent at the tenth anniversary of the publication of the draft genome sequence. In general, there was an overwhelming sense of disappointment at what had come out of the HPG, at least in the medical context. Given the grand promises that were made both around the start of the project in the 1980s and then again in the year 2000 at the presentation at the White  House,[21]  it is not surprising that people were unimpressed by what had been delivered by 2010/2011. Interestingly, it was not only the usual suspects, such as Lewontin (2011), but also key proponents of the HGP itself who were critical and pointed out the minimal medical advances that had been achieved in the first post-HGP decade (Collins 2010; Venter 2010).
