I'm having a real hard time understanding where this word can be applied
to differing human physiological characteristics.

Species, now... that we can work with...

How has this mr Alan R. Templeton been able to understand the
consequences of a 15% difference in code between groups of people?
Originally posted by RetrovirusAnd that 15% would be a temporary thing considering all the cross-breeding of 'races'. If a blue black african marries a blue eyed blonde, the resultant skin color is something between the two so these characteristics are ephermial in the big picture. Race is in the mind of the beholder.

I mean, the difference between a human and a chimpanzee is less then 1.5% .
What he wrote that from the already small differences between humans, only 15% can be related to "racial differences".
Originally posted by RetrovirusIs that all? Wow, so only tiny changes in genetic makeup are

Is that all? Wow, so only tiny changes in genetic makeup are
required to produce considerable results?
Some might argue that dolphins are more akin to humans with their
cognitive abilities.
Do you have any statistics on the difference in DNA between humans
and dolphins?

Anyway, I don't now what's the genetic difference between us a dolphins, but if it's lower than the one between us and chimps, I'll dig up my old beret and eat it.
