What group of humans has the most diverse genetic diversity?

The greatest divergence between populations is found in sub-Saharan Africa, consistent with the recent African origin of non-African populations. Populations also vary in the proportion and locus of introgressed genes they received by archaic admixture both inside and outside of Africa.

What is the genetic difference between male and female?

Men and women have practically the same set of about 20,000 genes. The only physical difference in their genetic make up is in the sex chromosomes. Only males have a Y chromosome. Although the X chromosome is present in both sexes, there are two copies in females and only one in males.

What race has the largest population in the world?

Han Chinese
The world’s largest ethnic group is Han Chinese, with Mandarin being the world’s most spoken language in terms of native speakers. The world’s population is predominantly urban and suburban, and there has been significant migration toward cities and urban centres.

Are men and women genetically the same?

The genetic difference between men and women is 15 times greater than between two men or two women. In fact, it’s equal to that of men and male chimpanzees. So men really are from….never mind. It’s OK to laugh now…. We’ve been taught that other than X and Y, males and females are genetically exactly the same. They aren’t.

Are men and women equal?

I know, my initial reaction too was, “really – it took genetics to tell us that?” But this is serious….really. Males are 99.9\% the same when compared to other males, and females are as well when compared to other females, but males and females are only 98.5\% equal to each other – outside of the X and Y chromosomes.

Are men more closely related to chimpanzees than to women?

Some people claim that, genetically, men are more closely related to male chimpanzees than to women. Others discount sex differences because they’re determined by a single gene, called SRY, on the Y chromosome.

Do “gay genes” influence mate choice?

There are many sexually antagonistic genes, possibly including “gay genes” that influence mate choice. A rarely recognised difference between the genomes of men and women is the different copy number of the more than 1,000 protein-coding genes on the X chromosome. There are two copies of these in women and one in men.
