South African President Thabo Mbeki speaking during the launch of the laboratory of the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) at the University of Cape Town:

This knowledge [of genetics] will increase our understanding of humanity’s travails over millennia and will, through this enlightenment, also have the added benefit of lessening ill-begotten and pernicious racial and ethnic prejudices among and between the peoples of the world.
