>You are the one who claimed there was a 2%  genetic difference between
humans.  I simply said if this were so,  then there is less difference
between humans and chimps.  For example, 139 of the 141 amino acids of the
alpha  chain of hemoglobin in the gorilla are identical to those in humans.
There is no difference in this regard between humans and chimps at all.  Of
course you will quibble with the use of the words:  claimed, between,
identical, difference, less, those, etc.  Do you even care what the point is
I was originally trying to make or is this just a game?
>If you are arguing that there are no physical, social or psychological
differences between the races, I don't know what further I could say.  How do
you argue with someone who denies black is black, or white is white?  After
all, color is just an illusion.  Well wait, that's not entirely right since
white is not really a color.  Or is it?  Gosh, let's debate this for a couple
of years.  Surely that will get us closer to understanding the theosophical
truths of the universe.
>I have imposed no "proof" criteria on anyone.  I simply would like to know
what is asserted and the basis for the assertion.  This isn't a court of law.
 I'm not here to hold anyone liable for damages.

It appears your interest is primarily winning a war with words.  If it will
make you feel better, I'll withdraw and you can claim victory. I'm not really
interested in such picayune balttles.  Randy
