Those who proclaim that races do not exist because people are say, 99 percent genetically similar, have a problem. There is also a high degree of genetic similarity with non-human organisms. Chimpanzees are about 98 percent similar, dogs 94 percent and bananas 60 percent. The mainstream tries to deal with this by saying that “being genetically similar to something is different than sharing the same DNA. That’s because genes (the part of DNA responsible for making protein) only account for up to 2% of your DNA, while the rest of your genome is made up of what scientists call “non-coding DNA.” So while a banana is 60% genetically similar to humans, only 1.2% of our DNA is shared.” However, that argument is not going to work for the human/chip difference. The claim that it is the small DNA difference that accounts for physiological and psychological difference, would also undermine the race nihilist claim. My view is that genes do not explain any of this, and that other forces must be involved, as Sheldrake has argued for some time.
