Excerpt from the ELSI paper I just linked to:

"...despite several news reports and scientific editorials, the topic has not yet captured the public imagination, even though accumulating data indicate that CNV content might exceed that of SNPs within humans4, and between humans and chimpanzees."

And here's a bombshell that nobody appears willing to touch: the measured CNV difference between the human races, to date, exceeds the updated CNV measurements between human and chimpanzee. Which leads to speculation that chimpanzees merely diverged from us and went their own way, but at a later date than the origins of the human races. (Puzzling, at first, but it makes sense if chimps are isolates, and humans did not evolve primarily in Africa.)
