Evolution works with deviations from a type, and tends to produce robust, homeostatic systems. So either: (a) most of your 2^100 types are dead (more than four biomarkers out of whack and bam, gonzo), OR (b) most are insignificantly different (blue vs brown eyes)

Basic questions if one thinks that there are 2^100 kinds of human is : are all 2^100 equally likely?

I have a strong feeling that Trump might in fact get the Nobel. We're back in the funniest timeline. But don't worry, this is also the worst timeline. The funniest and worst timelines have merged into one.
