Geography And History Shape Genetic Differences In Humans

| No Comments

ScienceDaily (June 7, 2009) -- New research indicates that natural selection may shape the human genome much more slowly than previously thought. Other factors -- the movements of humans within and among continents, the expansions and contractions of populations, and the vagaries of genetic chance - have heavily influenced the distribution of genetic variations in populations around the world. Comment: Is there any chance that these studies can lead to a change in racial animositt? We are all mongrels.
