Since the [[Great Flood]] human populations have gone through periods of isolation and intermixing which lead to differences between groups. [[Scientists]] believe that these are largely a matter of different statistical frequencies of variations from an agreed-on standard, rather than racial differences as was once thought. Modern [[Homo sapiens|humans]], the descendants of [[Noah]] and his family, share approximately 99.9% of their [[DNA]]. Of the .1% that does vary, 85% of the observed variation is unconnected to membership of any particular group of people. | Since the [[Great Flood]] human populations have gone through periods of isolation and intermixing which lead to differences between groups.
