New findings cast doubt on "race isn't real" claim |
For years, mainstream scientists have said there are no real racial
differences among people. Race is purely a "social construct" -- in other
words, it's imaginary, some have argued.
But two new studies raise doubts about a key calculation on which this
argument rests.This calculation, often cited publicly by world-renowned
geneticists, is that all humans are more than 99.9 percent genetically
identical.

And one of the dissenting studies sample *20* people! Wow! That's
certainly scientifically irrefutable!

A very carefully selected 20, no doubt.
