Flavor unification is proposed in the SU(8) gauge group. This model imbeds the Georgi-Glashow SU/sub GG/(5) as a subgroup. It is necessary to modify Georgi's second postulate for grand unification so that the left-handed fermion representations are complex with respect to SU/sub C/(3) x SU/sub W/(2) x U/sub Y/(1) x U/sub J/(1). There are three families of light quarks, one right-handed isospin-singlet quark with charge -(1/3), three ordinary lepton families, and one lepton doublet without a right-handed partner.
