“There were people whom I considered friends or loved ones who either abandoned me or betrayed me in ways I'd never have suspected.

Those can't be measured in the same way as human DNA.” WayHumansHardWould BeAbleCultureGivenSocialEasyDifferencesRaceColorHairSkinsSpotsConstructsDnaExposureImplicationsTextureSkin ColorMartiansBasic Things Author:Jim Goad
