Falsely claiming that we are all the same will not stop wars

I watched Henry Louis Gates, Jr. this morning telling an adoring Charlie Rose how humans are 99.99 genetically the same and therefore how ridiculous and stupid it is that humans have all these wars and all this pain between races. I'm thinking, how wise and scientific Affirmative Action has made Harvard professors like Gates.  It's hard to believe that Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Edward O. Wilson walk the same halls at Harvard.

One mutation of one gene can cause, say, dwarfism. We share 60 percent of our genes with fruit flies. One gene-pair out of 20,000 genes makes the difference between men and women, but it is a regulatory gene telling many other genes what to do.  Chimps are said be 99% identical in DNA to humans.  Little difference between us there? Apparently without even knowing it, Gates proves the point that minuscule changes in genes causes huge differences that explain why competing genetic pools of ethnic groups continue to compete for survival and reproductive success.

Wars are bad and destructive. We all stop evolving during wars. But falsely claiming that we are all the same will not stop wars. What will at least slow down wars is admitting that we are all different and we need our own space, our own ethnostates or regions, rather than jamming distinctly different people together in one multi-ethnic space and telling us the big lie that we are all the same and we should all get along. Who is causing the trouble here?
