AB  - People  love  to  oversimplify  genetics,  saying  we  have  a  ‘gene  for  cancer’  or  a  ‘gene  for  diabetes’.  But  the  fact  is,  genes  determine  only  so  much.  Identical  twins  have  identical  genomes,  yet  one  may  develop  juvenile  diabetes  and  the  other  typically  doesn’t.  Understanding  the  role  of  genes  should  help  pinpoint  environmental  factors  …  The  genome  is  a  history  book  showing  the  entire  6  billion-member  human  species  traces  back  7000  generations  to  a  tiny  founding  population  of  some  60  000  people.  Our  species  has  only  a  modest  amount  of  genetic  variation—the  DNA  of  any  two  humans  is  99.9%  identical.ERIC  LANDER,  HUMAN  GENOME  PROJECT,  20001
