Human DNA consists of about 3 billion bases, and more than 99 percent of those bases are the same in all people.

What percent do you think it will be?

"Human DNA consists of about 3 billion bases, and more than 99 percent of those bases are the same in all people."

Yes, and we have, as I recall, 95% to 97% commonality with chimpanzees, as well.

"What percent do you think it will be?"

My guess is that it'll be in the 99.9999% or greater fraction. Which number has no validity, as we don't yet have sufficient complete genome data available to identify the "race-specific" gene clusters. It is, however, self-evident that such clusters and characteristics are there, and quite real.

"but it will be hundreds of years before humanity is sufficiently genetically "homogenized" to be considered a single race, if ever."

But, according to current "E" theory, didn't HomoSapiens start from a few individuals? ToE says we SHOULD be DIFFERENT by now!

We can NEVER become "homogenized", but more and more diverse!
