  2. Human genetic variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetic_variation

    Genetic variation Genetic variation of Eurasian populations showing different frequency of West- and East-Eurasian components [56] It is commonly assumed that early humans left Africa, and thus must have passed through a population bottleneck before their African-Eurasian divergence around 100,000 years ago (ca. 3,000 generations).

    A new study suggests there's no such thing as "Mexican." Researchers took a look at the genetic history of people born in Mexico and found more isolated groups than expected. One thousand people ...

  4. Genetic diversity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_diversity

    Genetic diversity is the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species. It ranges widely, from the number of species to differences within species , and can be correlated to the span of survival for a species. [ 1 ]

  5. Genetic history of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_history_of_the...

    A 2016 genetic study of Indigenous peoples of the Amazonian region of Brazil (by Skoglund and Reich) showed evidence of admixture from a separate lineage of an otherwise unknown ancient people. This ancient group appears to be related to modern day "Australasian" peoples (i.e. Aboriginal Australians and Melanesians).

    Our bodies have 3 billion genetic building blocks, or base pairs, that make us who we are. And of those 3 billion base pairs, only a tiny amount are unique to us, making us about 99.9% genetically ...

  7. Race and genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_genetics

    Genetic markers from individuals are examined to find a population's genetic structure. While subgroups overlap when examining variants of one marker only, when a number of markers are examined different subgroups have different average genetic structure. An individual may be described as belonging to several subgroups.

  8. Human genetic clustering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetic_clustering

    A wide range of methods have been developed to assess the structure of human populations with the use of genetic data. Early studies of within and between-group genetic variation used physical phenotypes and blood groups, with modern genetic studies using genetic markers such as Alu sequences, short tandem repeat polymorphisms, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), among others.

    Human genetics is the study of inheritance as it occurs in human beings.Human genetics encompasses a variety of overlapping fields including: classical genetics, cytogenetics, molecular genetics, biochemical genetics, genomics, population genetics, developmental genetics, clinical genetics, and genetic counseling.
