Where do the most genetically diverse people on Earth live? 🌍The most genetically diverse people on Earth live in Africa. Geneticists have discovered more than 3 mln previously undescribed genetic variants among Africans. That diversity has fit well with the fossil evidence that the human species originated in Africa. It is known that when a new species, be it plant or animal, arises and spreads, genetic differences accumulate more in geographic regions where the species has been present longer. The more distant populations represent only a small subset of the genetic variation that arose nearer the center of origin. The claim has even been made that East Africans are more genetically different from West Africans than Europeans are from Asians. According to researchers: ✔️🇳🇦🇿🇦the southwestern coast of Africa-between today’s Namibia and South Africa-may be modern humanity’s homeland ✔️the oldest group in Africa, evolutionarily speaking, may be the San, or Bushmen.
