Diversity

[mota bhai 2,675]

Time to be honest about human genetic diversity.

genetic? ok..

Africa has the most human genetic diversity. Not North America.

Africa also has the most aids. That means the more diversity, the more aids. And more flys on eyeballs. Too far?

Good points. Thank you for bringing that to our attention.

Only if you believe PBS.

Poorly defined question..

Talking about the actual total genetic spread they are all equal since members of all races live on all continents..

Talking about individual races and the diversity within a given race then it should not be defined by continent.

Talking about the amount of spread of given races across any given continent then it seems illogical that Africa would be the "winner" it should be a continent mostly populated by other races through immigration.

Africa has the most human genetic diversity of any continent. Google it if you don't understand what that means.

Genetic variation in humans is sometimes described as being discontinuous among continents or among groups of individuals, and by some this has been interpreted as genetic support for “races.” A recent study in which >350 microsatellites were studied in a global sample of humans showed that they could be grouped according to their continental origin, and this was widely interpreted as evidence for a discrete distribution of human genetic diversity. Here, we investigate how study design can influence such conclusions. Our results show that when individuals are sampled homogeneously from around the globe, the pattern seen is one of gradients of allele frequencies that extend over the entire world, rather than discrete clusters. Therefore, there is no reason to assume that major genetic discontinuities exist between different continents or “races.”

That's not what your questions says..

"Which continent has the most human diversity"

I googled it and it said "What kind of stupid question is that?"

I'm torn between Africa and South America, at the moment.

I vote for Canada..There are some very wicked species from there

Which continent has the most incontinent people?

Which continent has the most incontinent people?

Has to Alaska, Very little fiber in thier diets
