Introduction
To many, it seems obvious that people with different skin tones, facial types, and 'natural' attributes must be different in kind from each other — effectively smaller sub-species within Homo sapiens.
But the fact is, we're all related and share recent, common ancestors.
Popular broadcaster and geneticist Dr. Adam Rutherford regularly finds himself trolled online by those driven by prejudice, clinging to their own experience over proven science.
