- Interesting... but very difficult to evaluate for the lay-man (me). I don't see how this genetic argument necessarily translates to racism?
horatiocain rated 20 months ago- No citations? Pop-terminology? Holy shit, they call this a science magazine? The home page has some shit about celebrities. Look it's great to have an open mind - for new facts, not new junk science.

- dude... lemme see the paper at least.

- Idiocy. DNA does not equal genes. Only about 1.5% of the 3 billion base pairs of the human genome code are exons (genes). So if there is 10% difference in that 1.5%, that's 0.15% difference which leaves a potential for 99.85% similarity in the DNA itself.

- Thumbs up for rocking the boat.

- "Now an international team of scientists has analysed the DNA of people with ancestry in Europe, Africa, and Asia and found that individual humans differ in their genes by at least 10 per cent."
Hmmm.... but what does this really mean, a difference of 10 per cent? Some have blue eyes, some green, some grey and some have brown eyes? For what percentage do the various obvious differences in physical characteristics count?
This article is intriguing but superficial and doesn't tell us much. However, it would not surprise me if the DNA reflects the visible and invisible differences between people. - "Now an international team of scientists has analysed the DNA of people with ancestry in Europe, Africa, and Asia and found that individual humans differ in their genes by at least 10 per cent."

- Maybe (surely?) i'm dumb, but i don't get it... Haven't been teached that between the champenzee and the human there were only something like less than a percentage of difference on the DNA? How come you can find so much difference only in one specie? Is the human specie that different? and be the way, scientifical article with no references is just a rumor, nothing more...

- Yeah, there are tons of differences genetically between races. Scientists use these different SNP's and LTR's for locating key genes that influence diseases. This is neither new nor all that suprising. What is bothersome is how the article is called 'proof at last', which seems to have a bigoted undertone. Genetic differences between races are highly useful, and sure they exist, but it certainly doesn't mean it's ok to step back into history and use this information to further seperate eachother. On the contrary, this information can help all human beings by finding the roots of diseases, and should be seen as a way to bring us together.
