A Family Tree in Every Gene

Wow, this is news? The scientific community has been rocked by proof that there is such a thing as race on a genetic level. Apparently the popular idea was that race was only a concept, or a socio-economic construct imposed by society. Any idiot could tell you that's foolish. I think this should be considered evidence of liberal-minded people believing something in spite of the fact that it flies in the face of all the empirical evidence, just because it fits with their feel-good view of the world. Of course there's such a thing as race. It's pretty easy to tell an asian from a european just by looking at their face! It took a statistician to figure this out?
