The nearest neighbor to the “perfect human” is HG00737, a female who is… Puerto Rican. One might imagine that such a person already existed, maybe Yuiza, the only female Taino Cacique (chief) in Puerto Rico’s history. 

"The perfect human is Puerto Rican": "maybe Yuiza, the only female Taino Cacique (chief) in Puerto Rico’s history." (This is just a quote, and not my opinion - I try to keep my reviews objective and comprehensive and try to include all the interesting articles. However, it looks that this one has to be checked out by a professional geneticist. - M.N.) - Tuesday, December 9, 2014

"...when it comes to humans, nothing is perfect."

WHY THERE CAN’T BE A PERFECT HUMAN FROM PUERTO RICO, OR ANYWHERE ELSE - BY TK OLEKSYK  

 "It gets lonely on the long rides in a foreign country, and I searched my memory for some comfort, and I recalled the face of my 10-month-old daughter Sophia. Here is the perfect woman, I thought, and the world around me smiled."
