Abstract

Recent studies have produced a variety of advances in the investigation of genetic similarities and differences among human populations. Here, I pose a series of questions about human population- genetic similarities and differences, and I then answer these questions by numerical computation with a single shared population-genetic dataset. The collection of answers obtained provides an introductory perspective for understanding key results on the features of worldwide human genetic variation.
