Apportionment of Racial Diversity: A Review
In the last 30 years there has been an assault on the race concept.1–35 Many anthropologists question the usefulness of the race concept and have discarded it as a research and teaching tool.36–39 Even use of the race concept in textbooks is declining.39 Only 50% of physical anthropologists and 31% of cultural anthropologists accept the validity of biological races in Homo sapiens.40 There are ...
متن کاملThe Apportionment of Human Diversity
It has always been obvious that organisms vary, even to those pre-Darwinian idealists who saw most individual variation as distorted shadows of an ideal. It has been equally apparent, even to those post-Darwinians for whom variation between individuals is the central fact of evolutionary dynamics, that variation is nodal, that individuals fall in clusters in the space of phenotypic description,...
متن کاملImplications of the apportionment of human genetic diversity for the apportionment of human phenotypic diversity.
Researchers in many fields have considered the meaning of two results about genetic variation for concepts of "race." First, at most genetic loci, apportionments of human genetic diversity find that worldwide populations are genetically similar. Second, when multiple genetic loci are examined, it is possible to distinguish people with ancestry from different geographical regions. These two resu...
متن کاملA General Model of the Relationship between the Apportionment of Human Genetic Diversity and the Apportionment of Human Phenotypic Diversity.
Models that examine genetic differences between populations alongside a genotype-phenotype map can provide insight about phenotypic variation among groups. We generalize a simple model of a completely heritable, additive, selectively neutral quantitative trait to examine the relationship between single-locus genetic differentiation and phenotypic differentiation on quantitative traits. In agree...
متن کاملAn apportionment of human HLA diversity.
In this study, we estimate the amount of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genetic diversity in the global human population at three levels of population hierarchy: within populations; among populations within continents and among continents on large sets of HLA population data gathered during the last international histocompatibility and immunogenetics workshops and conferences. The results indica...
