Variances among continents are small, but not zero. Do genotypes naturally cluster in continental or subcontinental groups?

Less than 8% of the alleles are continent-specific, and more than half of these are African

Africa is special: Genetic diversity in all continents is often a subset
of African genetic variation

Human genetic diversity largely reflects patterns of migration

Genetic evidence on modern humans’ origins
• Extensive allele sharing across continents• Extensive haplotype sharing across continents• Largest proportion of human genetic diversity within
populations• No obvious continental clusters of populations• Genetic diversity out of Africa a subset of African
diversity• Broad-scale clines
We are a young
and mobile species

Mind the numbers
Humans and chimps share >98% of their genomes
Among the 2% differences, 1.9% are fixed differences within species
The remaining fraction, 0.1%, contains all human genomic variation
85% of that 0.1% represents differences among members of the same population
The differences among the main racial or continental groups represent 10% of 0.1% of the total, that is, 0.01%
But 0.01% of 3 billion DNA sites means 300 000 variable sites

DNA-based forensic identification
Many DNA regions are characterised by a Variable Number of Tandem Repeats (VNTR): …CTAGACCCGAGAGAGAGAATTCCATGC… [5] …CTAGACCCGAGAGAGAATTCCATGC… [4] …CTAGACCCGAGAGAGAGAGAGAATTCCATGC… [7]
Each of us carries a potentially unique combination of alleles at VNTR loci

But if races do not exist, how come forensic scientists are so good at finding them?
a. UK forensic classification (before 2005):European, Afro-Caribbean, Indian Subcontinent, South East Asian, Middle Eastern
b. UK forensic classification (after 2005)White-British, White-Irish, White-other, Asian-Indian, Asian-Pakistani, Asian-Bangladeshi, Asian-other, Black-Caribbean, Black-African, Black-other, Chinese, + 4 razze miste e Other
c. USA forensic classification Caucasian, African-American, East Asian, Hispanic, Native American
d. Bribri classificationBribri, ña
Any list can be Ok for certain purposes, no list gives an all-purpose biological classification of humankind
