Well Linne, a Creationist, was looking to define the created kind when he originally came up with binomial nomenclature. It was after research that he concluded that the Created Kind was more at the level of Genus.
And this would be the reason that his first edition of Systema Naturae (1758) classified the chimpanzee as Homo troglodytes? Because humans and chimps are the same Created Kind?

John Paul, Ayala is talking about a population of individuals, not two individuals, with that amount of heterozygosity. With two individuals and any particular gene, the heterozygosity could be 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% - there are only four possible alleles with only two diploid individuals. (Biologists - correct me if I'm calculating that wrong!)

Two individuals but how many sex cells?
A bunch - all of which carry ONE OR THE OTHER OF THE TWO POSSIBLE VERSIONS OF THE GENE IN THE PARENT!
Have you never taken 10th-grade biology?
