The background and legacy of Lewontin's apportionment of human genetic diversity.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 6 Jun 2022

Novembre John

Abstract excerpt

Lewontin's 1972 article 'The apportionment of human diversity' described a key feature of human genetic diversity that would have profound impacts on conversations regarding genetics and race: the typical genetic locus varies much less between classical human race groupings than one might infer from inspecting the features historically used to define those races, like skin pigmentation. From this, Lewontin...
