We are all 99.9 percent genetically equal. It is one one-hundredth of one percent of genetic material that makes the difference between any one of us.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One of the things about genetics that has become clearer as we've done genomes - as we've worked our way through the evolutionary tree, including humans - is that we're probably much more genetic animals than we want to confess we are.
People are pretty much alike. It's only that our differences are more susceptible to definition than our similarities.
What Darwinian theory shows us is that all human races are extremely close to each other. None of them is in any sense ancestral to any other; none of them is more primitive than any other. We are all modern races of exactly equal status, evolutionarily speaking.
We are all cells in the same body of humanity.
Society and medicine treat us all as members of populations, whereas as individuals we are all unique, and population statistics do not apply.
It's the lie of evolution that all man are just evolved and that they're all equal, and that all creatures are equal.
Charles Darwin and I and you broke off from the family tree from chimpanzees about five million years ago. They're still our closest genetic kin. We share 98.8 percent of the genes. We share more genes with them than zebras do with horses. And we're also their closest cousin. They have more genetic relation to us than to gorillas.
Sometimes it is claimed by those who argue that race is just a social construct that the human genome project shows that because people share roughly 99% of their genes in common, that there are no races. This is silly.
We're not all equal, it's simply not true. That isn't science.
We are all descendants of Adam, and we are all products of racial miscegenation.
