(1) I don't think a geneticist would think so. I think a geneticist would be pissed, and a little saddened, to see his life's work summarized so.

(1a) "But there was, on a structural level,
very, very little difference between them,

(2) Any adjectives you used would be stereotypical, because they'd still be giving entire races/instruments broad, *typical* qualities. That's what stereotype means.

(3) I know. Merry Christmas.
