Combination of all non-African populations holds only a minority human diversity, since all Homo sapiens emerged from Africa, and lost diversity via bottleneck effect. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7380073/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1462113/ https://blogs.bcm.edu/2018/07/19/genetic-diversity-in-africa-is-greater-than-in-any-other-region-in-the-world/ https://www.sanger.ac.uk/collaboration/african-genome-variation-project/ https://theconversation.com/major-study-unveils-complexity-and-vast-diversity-of-africas-genetic-variation-150090 https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822%2809%2902065-X
