>>11135309>"there are more genetic differences within the groups traditionally thought of as races, far more than there is between the groups we've thought of as races".It's not true and this statement only came into existence because people did not understand how geneticists generally calculate in terms of relatedness.
Ultimately it's the claim that if the average relatedness of two people from the same race is given the value 1, then the average relatedness of two people from two different races has a value of approx. 1.15.
This is a horrible misconception because some journalists and humanity idiots, unable to understand what the actual calculations meant in the first place, simply think of relatedness as being an additive feature.
The truth is, that this claim stems from a paper which showed that the relatedness between uncle and half-niece (which is 12.5 %) in comparison to the relatedness between the uncle and their ethnicity equals the on average relatedness between any two members of the same ethnicity in comparison to any outsider ethnicity which in fact is the opposite of what some idiots claim this article to be.
