Geography And History Shape Genetic Differences In Humans


ScienceDaily (2009-06-07) -- New research indicates that natural selection may shape the human genome much more slowly than previously thought. Other factors -- the movements of humans within and among continents, the expansions and contractions of populations, and the vagaries of genetic chance -- have heavily influenced the distribution of genetic variations in populations around the world.

  1. I guess genetic structure of the human beings changes continuesly - we just can't see exact changes now. They will be visible after a great, really great period of time will pass.
