Surely certainty that being human is more than DNA is that monozygotic
(identical) twins share the same DNA (don't they?) yet have different
personalities. Not that I'm doubting you are aware, but I got the
impression you were asking for an obvious answer.
We had a chaotic time on the TV and radio last night with programmes about
genetics that the public didn't seem to grasp.
