We Are Unique

In one of the most interesting stories of the day, there is now evidence that people are less alike than scientists had thought when it comes to the billions of building blocks that make up each individual's DNA, according to a new analysis. "Instead of 99.9 percent identical, maybe we're only 99 percent (alike)," said J. Craig Venter, an author of the study, and the person whose DNA was analyzed for it.

I guess we are the snowflakes of the human species, and are unique in our own ways.Cool!
