This important (and to many people controversial) assertion has been the centerpiece of an exposition entitled "All of Us Are Related, Each of Us Is Unique" which I prepared and which is available from Syracuse University, excerpts from which may be seen here by clicking this link http://allrelated.syr.edu
The exposition was the creation of a team of geneticists and anthropologists in Paris and in Geneva and the text of its original version was in French. In 1994, I translated it into English and Syracuse University underook its distribution throughout the English-speaking world.
Then, in 2001, the central message of the exposition.... that there are no separate biological races within the human species ... was shown to be absolutely factual, beyond any legitimate doubt, by the
definitive findings of the Human Genome Project.
On February 12, 2001, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in its journal Science published, as its cover story, the initial findings of the Human Genome Research Project, making it abundantly clear that all human beings alive today, wherever we live, and whatever we look like, are so closely related that we can’t possibly be divided from each other into “races”. Historians may someday designate this early 21st century date a watershed, since it marked the start of a mind-boggling reconsideration of our understanding of our selves.
This new view of us has profound social, political, economic, and psychological implications. Is it too much to hope the someday, then, the date may matter to historians even more than the “discovery” of America in 1492, celebrating “Genome Day” as today we celebrate Columbus Day?
