This is old news

before i got into Physics/Chemistry, I was experimenting with field of genetics in undergrad level.

Quite an interesting site as well.

But Human Genome project shows that EVERYONE (ranging from Africa to Sweden) is equal up to 99.9 percent of the time. Only that .01 percent is attributed to different phenotypes.

Mind, if i ask why bring this up on a travel forum?

Me too, the first sentence was enough. I don't see the point of this research at all, it is unnecessary and divisive.
