DNA Varies More Widely From Person to Person, Genetic Maps Reveal

The genetic makeup of the human race is much more varied than previously believed, new research shows. Scientists say that surprisingly many large chunks of human DNA differ among individuals and ethnic groups. The research also suggests that humans have less DNA in common with chimpanzees, our closest living relative, than is widely supposed. The new findings, based on several studies, will have huge changes for research into deadly diseases, the researchers add.

This is not really good for us because then if we have less DNA then its not good also if we live now, soon enough we will create diseases far more complicated for scientists.
