    There is a report out today that for the 30,000 genes which make up a human,
    there are approximately 14 versions for each gene. This has two
    implications. First, it means that the genetic makeup of humanity can not be
    fit within the past 100,000 years. Secondly, this diversity means that
    mutations are not quite so harmful as the anti-evolutionists claim. See the
    report at
