There's an implicit assertion in that statement, that we're currently not recognizing that meaningful patterns and variation exists. But that's nonsense. We are all perfectly aware that some groups digest lactose better, some are less vulnerable to skin cancer, some drop like flies to common tropical diseases, some completely dominate long distance running competition etc.

So there's got to be some particular differences he's referring to that he thinks are papered over. He should spell out which.
