NEGLIGIBLE. Evolution occurs over a period of hundreds of thousands to millions of generations (generally), something which humans have not obtained yet... not to mention our genomes show NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER of divergence

It's ill-advised to bring the subjective term negligible into your supposedly scientific argument.
Evolution occurs with every generation. Biology isn't like pokemon. your lineage doesn't need to gain a million years of levels before spontaneously pooping out a raichu. Your genetic differentiation from your parents is an example of evolution.
Bio 101 example: Africans present with sickle cell at a higher rate than other populations. Sickle cell disease actually confers a resistance to malaria. Malaria is a huge problem in Africa for white people -- in colonial times we called it the "white man's disease" because we honkies died at alarming rates while the natives were thriving. This didn't come about through natural selection? Our evolutionary history is identical?
You've taken the "99.99% of our genes are the same!" cliche and based a fallacious argument on it. You do not judge what is negligible with your gut and your cock. If it can be detected with statistical significance, it can only be your meaningless uneducated redneck opinion that it is "negligible". Keep that noise to yourself.
