The landscape, like the DNA, is homogeneous. Even more interesting, the allele is a variant of a gene that might actually be part of the disease process. Although the differences are small, they show up in the diseases that different groups get and how these groups respond to drugs. In the first article about African Americans, geneticist Georgia Dunston points out that Africa contains the richest DNA diversity because it is the site of humanity’s oldest genes.

We all carry the same genes for skin color, but our genes responded differently to changes in solar intensity as bands of Homo sapiens migrated away from the unrelenting sun of the equator. Patterns of human variation can be linked to geography, and geographic ancestry can be linked to health risks. "The small population of people who first settled this part of the world -- combined with relatively little immigration that would add variation to the gene pool -- has pushed important genetic variants that first existed in the founding population to expand and become much more common than they would be elsewhere," said first author Adam E.
