Genetic variation, classification and 'race'.

Nature genetics - 1 Nov 2004

Jorde Lynn B, Wooding Stephen P

Abstract excerpt

New genetic data has enabled scientists to re-examine the relationship between human genetic variation and 'race'. We review the results of genetic analyses that show that human genetic variation is geographically structured, in accord with historical patterns of gene flow and genetic drift. Analysis of many loci now yields reasonably accurate estimates of genetic similarity among individuals, rather than...
