Misestimation of Expected Genetic Differences – A Statistical Note on Some Recent Papers

2025-03-05

Abstract excerpt

The expected magnitude of phenotypic differences between human populations under genetic drift is often underestimated. This commentary challenges recent claims of minimal differences by addressing statistical weaknesses in Lala & Feldman[1], Gusev[2][3], and Roseman & Bird[4], specifically the misinterpretation of polygenicity’s role in genetic drift, the failure to adjust for diploidy, and the use of non-standar...
