Hmm, the link above did not work for me, but the same story appears elsewhere:

Human DNA is far more varied than thought

IBTZ?

I've always thought that races of man were the equivalent to "breeds" in other animals such as dogs and cats.

Anyone have any thoughts about this?

Yeah, big like a firecracker, all blow and little effect.

But you've got to admire hip genetic investigators; they know how to work a room full of supplicants.

Happy Thanksgiving. Are you missing something?

Genetic Breakthrough that Reveals the Differences Between Humans

Some understand baseball....... some don't.

More use for the "junk" DNA.

Although there was an underlying similarity in terms of how common it was for genes to be copied, there were enough racial differences to assign every person bar none to their correct ethnic origin.

Just great..in a few decades someone will be able to make a nanotech weapon that targets a single ethnic group.

True scientists know that, each time we make some scientific "breakthrough", we have reached another point in which we now realize that we know far less than we thought we knew before the breakthrough and that the breakthrough has created far more new questions than the number of answers it resolved.

I have no hesitation is saying we still know far less than we think we do about the real workings of DNA.
