Re: Interesting human population genetic facts

The Basques may have originated from Siberia area because they share a haplotype with a area in Russia.
The Haplotype is of African origin.
The Senegalese share a genetic trait with Europeans suggesting a common ancestor at some point.
SEE YOU NEXT WEEK,EVERYONE!
As I've read it, the most major genetic divide amongst humans is north/south and not east/west, i.e. the black and white races are genetically closer to eachother than either is to the yellow.
I'd interpret that to mean that the three biblical family groups, Japhetic (IndoEuropean), Hametic (dark skinned), and semitic (Jews, arabs, babylonians, assyrians etc. ) are descended from Noah as described in the bible, and that orientals are descended from people who survived the flood on mountains and/or anything which could float for the better part of a year as described in their own literature (Shu-Ching etc.).
Other than that, there is less genetic variation in the entire human race than in a typical group of 50 african monkeys. That means that the entire human race is descended from some very small number of people, very recently.
