Anyone know if the genetic similarities that we become friends around according to the study aren't related to race? To me that would be the most interesting pa

  As other's have mentioned in this thread I believe the group under study were primarily, if not all, Europeans. So in that case in a sense the genetic similarites weren't related to race because race wasn't a variable. But as far the relation of genetics and genetic similarities to race, all genetics are related to race. In terms of the fact that a single Adenine molecule alone is fairly useless, it is only when that molecule is combined into the structure of a genome that it takes on meaning[0], and genomes have a race, so I don't think in that sense there are any genes or genetic similarities that aren't related to race. Every member of a race is more genetically related to every other member of that race than they are to any member of any other race. What "genetic similarities" could there be that are more similar across races than within races? [0]"Meaning" at the level under discussion in terms of human relationships and whatnot.
