"According to a recent study, countries are far ore likely to go to war with other countries whose populations are genetically similar to their own. Date from 1816 to 2000 show that the likelihood of conflict gereatly increases with greater genetic likeness. So why do we fight those who are most like us? 'Countries are likely to have interacted more with other countreis that are genetically similar, and therefore will have more issues over which they disagree,' UCLA economist Romain Wacziarg says."
