Evidence for gradients of human genetic diversity within and among continents.

Genome research - 1 Sept 2004

Serre David, Pääbo Svante

Abstract excerpt

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...
