The author begins by correcting the assumed idea that humans have different "races." He brings in scientific terms to back up his point, claiming "we all share a single phenotype". Furthermore, Hadjiargyrou provides an ethos argument through his career as a microbiologist--a reader can trust him, as genetics is his job. On the logos side of things, the author cites the "99.9 percent identical" DNA between humans, as well as universal diseases such as "cancers and cardiovascular and neurological disorders", as
