Re: the apes evolved but we don't!
Rincewind:
There are a number of such articles all claiming credit for their great success in providing an explanation for human for what is inferred as progress. Resistance to one disease by one race, etc. is supposed to be "immense human genetic change."
Yet, stone age people in the last couple centuries have become part of modern civilization. One is contending now for President of the U.S. Yet, ferral children in various continents have been observed to be able to absorb only a small part of our modern way of life.
Do these genetic researchers claim that their little genetic or epigentic changes actually make one race or ethnic or lingual group better able to handle or contribute to civilization? They dare not make such a foolish claim, yet they infer it by the undue emphasis they place on their findings.
Even they admit, as the article says: ""Even with these changes, however, human DNA remains more than 99% identical, the researchers note.""
"More than 99%" can and probably does mean 99.99%
