Alan R. Templeton is an American geneticist and statistician from Washington University in St. Louis, where he holds the Charles Rebstock professorship in biology.[1] He is known for his work demonstrating the lack of genetic differences between humans of different races.[2] According to Templeton's research, perceived differences in races are more related to cultural perceptions and biases than any underlying genetic reality.[3] For example, Templeton's statistical analysis of the human genome shows that much greater genetic diversity exists between populations of chimpanzees than humans.
