And from that base human perspective, Clemens's adamant denial makes sense.
She pointed out that UNESCO will be working to strengthen the social and human sciences knowledge base and to enhance its contribution to policies informed by scientific knowledge.
The firms that we now consider to big to fail have been built in large part through the acquisition of the human talent and customer base of the multitudes of smaller firms they have gobbled up over the past few decades.

The genome project, which the government began in 1987, aimed to speed the gene-hunting effort by providing the first full map of all 3 billion base pairs that make up human DNA. (It was not necessary, in this effort, to run through all the pairs on each set of chromosomes, or 6 billion pairs.) And because the base pairs come in only four varieties, they are digital and ideal for computer decoding.
At the same time, by removing human employees from the low-level work that most often leads to errors, companies can develop an employee base focused more on the proactive aspects of business that require human creativity and intellect.

Pilar Alvarez-Laso, UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Social and Human Sciences, stressed in her opening words that the idea of sustainable development depends on the availability of a knowledge base and the capacity to make use of it.
The human genome project itself, which was the enabling factor of this revolution, was perfectly exponential with the number of base pairs being sequenced doubling every year and the cost per base pair coming down by half every year.
