Are there any genetic differences between Africans and non-Africans? If so, what does it mean?
The answer is quite obviously yes. Hair, skin, metabolism and so on. But then again, there are genetic differences between any two random people on earth irrespective of ethnic background. There are similarities between people of different ethnic backgrounds. You will have to be far more specific with your question if you want any meaningful answer.Teetotaler said:Are there any genetic differences between Africans and non-Africans?

Race is a real cultural, political and economic concept in society, but it is not a biological concept, and that unfortunately is what many people wrongfully consider to be the essence of race in humans -- genetic differences," says Templeton. "Evolutionary history is the key to understanding race, and new molecular biology techniques offer so much on recent evolutionary history. I wanted to bring some objectivity to the topic. This very objective analysis shows the outcome is not even a close call: There's nothing even like a really distinct subdivision of humanity.Teetotaler said:Are there any genetic differences between Africans and non-Africans?
