Results - After restricting the SNP set from SNPedia to those with green painted alleles, i.e. good, there are 4967 SNPs with which to construct the perfect human (available for download here).
A dataset of genotyped individuals can be obtain from 1000 genomes including Africans, (indigenous) Americans, East Asians and Europeans.
The PCA plot (1st and 2nd components) showing all the individuals together with the perfect human (in pink; see arrow) is shown below:

The nearest neighbor to the perfect human is HG00737, a female who is
Puerto Rican. One might imagine that such a person already existed, maybe Yuiza, the only female Taino Cacique (chief) in Puerto Ricos history:

Conclusion - The fact that the perfect human is Puerto Rican makes a lot of sense. Since many disease SNPs are population specific, it makes sense that an individual homozygous for all good alleles should be admixed. And that is exactly what Puerto Ricans are. In a women in the diaspora study, Puerto Rican women born on the island but living in the United States were shown to be 53.3±2.8% European, 29.1±2.3% West African, and 17.6±2.4% Native American. In other words, to collect all the good alleles it is necessary to be admixed, but admixture itself is not sufficient for perfection.

Not so. According to master Chiun, "The Korean is the most perfect creature ever to sanctify the earth with the imprint of its foot."

Since the Sephardic Jew registry and Spain’s right of return law came out, we’ve found out most Puerto Ricans are Jews (converted, crypto or otherwise)!
