Let's celebrate human genetic diversity

Bruce T. Lahn1 & Lanny Ebenstein2
Abstract
Science is finding evidence of genetic diversity among groups of people as well as among individuals. This discovery should be embraced, not feared, say Bruce T. Lahn and Lanny Ebenstein.
Summary
- Promoting biological sameness in humans is illogical, even dangerous
- To ignore the possibility of group diversity is to do poor science and poor medicine
- A robust moral position is one that embraces this diversity as among humanity's great assets
