Sean Munroe2/4/15Period 8The genetics of Diversity

The article Genetic Mutations Offer Insights on Human Diversity mainly writes about the differences in genetic mutations due to distance from Africa--the theorized place of origination of humans-- and your respective population. Noah Rosenberg of the University of Michigan said that Most genetic variation is shared worldwide. It is only a small part of human genetic variation that is private to particular continents. Rosenberg and his team along with two other teams, studied the genetic variation between groups of people all around the world. They found that people from common population share similar single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs.
