hi mdebellis thank you for the help please see human genome i welcome your interest at the same time i was looking for something broader than one additional pair of eyes my intent was to broaden the editorial reviewing to anyone of an anthropological historical philosophical bent who knows about and is interested in identity and variation in biology the genetic code metaphor genotypes genomes etc currently there are three intensely interested editors who share the same point of view on the subject but who have not been exposed to the idea of types in science consequently they think my contribution is soapboxing and or original research while i have modified my contribution to make it more true to the sources cited they do not think there is any connection between my paragraph and the sources cited people who know there is a large literature on the issue of the implications of the human genome concept will know that the idea of the human genome type is pretty well known and not my creation
