Wouldn't it be more correct to say we are one species, that has several bundled characteristics that we define as race? There are genetic differences between the races; they are not just cultural. I could see us disgarding the term "race" because of the negative connotations that go with it, but then we'll just come up with a different term to label the differences. I guess what I'm saying is that the differences are there, and wil not go away just because we deny the term used to categorize them.

As far as the mapping goes, that is very cool stuff. I will probably end up doing it, though the $100 seems a bit high. Maybe wait a couple years for the price to drop.

Anybody esle out there reading, or already read, Genome. Fascinating stuff.
