FYI: Our DNA is 99.9% identical to all other human beings on Earth. Therefore, we only have a 0.1% difference in DNA between any of us, which accounts for the diversity of characteristics among us as well as the slight differences in the Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA which allow us to trace family relationships and migrations. Fascinating stuff!
