Geography and genography: prediction of continental origin using randomly selected single nucleotide polymorphisms.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown that when individuals are grouped on the basis of genetic similarity, group membership corresponds closely to continental origin. There has been considerable debate about the implications of these findings in the context of larger debates about race and the extent of genetic variation between groups.
