We’re the Same, You & Me

“As members of the same human species, you and I share all but 0.01% (1/100th of 1%) of identical genetic sequences. So Biologically, as a species, you and I are virtually identical to one another at the level of our genes (99.99%). Looking around at the diversity within our human race, it is obvious that 0.01% accounts for a significant difference in how we look, think and behave.”
