Least racially diverse countries in the world

[Maula Jatt]

It seems the most diverse countries are the worst ones to live in!

not really outside of Africa, most diverse to somewhat diverse countries are alright to barely decent
most of Americas is diverse

I learned about the importance of race when I landed in this country of opportunity, the US. Otherwise, in India, we have differences in food, language, and way of living of the people every 100 miles. Take the example of Odisha which is the eastern part of India. Even if we speak the Odiya language, there are further languages and dialects within Odiya by different regions within Odisha.

India is not more diverse than any other region in the Old World. In Europe after travelling several kilometers in any direction you will find people speaking completely different dialects/languages. What you're doing is basically comparing a New World immigrant country like the US to an Old World (sub)continent called India, and that's not a fair comparison.

Iceland is not even on the list

Not to mention Qatar. Although Qatari Arabs apparently have tribal divisions.

what is the basis for science concluding we all came from the same ancestors ?

what is the basis for science concluding we all came from the same ancestors ?

It is based on a combination of evidence from genetics, paleontology, and anthropology.

1. Genetic Evidence: . The comparison of DNA sequences among different populations around the world reveals patterns of genetic variation that can be traced back to common ancestors. The analysis of mitochondrial DNA (inherited through the maternal line) and the Y chromosome (inherited through the paternal line) has provided insights into the common ancestry of modern humans.

2. Fossil Record: Fossil finds such as Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and various species of Homo, including Homo neanderthalensis, have provided a detailed record of human evolution. These fossils exhibit anatomical features that connect them to our common ancestors and help reconstruct the evolutionary lineage leading to modern humans.

3. Comparative Anatomy: By comparing the anatomy of humans to other primates, such as chimpanzees, bonobos, and gorillas, scientists have identified shared anatomical traits. These similarities support the idea that humans and other primates share a common ancestry.

4. Cultural and Behavioral Evidence: Anthropological studies have revealed cultural and behavioral similarities across different human populations, suggesting a shared evolutionary history. The existence of universal human traits, such as language, tool use, and complex social structures, suggests common origins. Additionally, the study of human migration patterns and the analysis of archaeological artifacts have provided insights into the movements of early human populations and their relationships.

It is important to note that scientific understanding is based on the available evidence and is subject to revision as new discoveries and advancements are made.

Oh yeah my bad dude, no wonder I was surprised
Cause I was wrong!

Happens.

Curiously there is just percentile difference between Pakistan and India despite a huge difference in population. For India it's even more worse as she is one of the most saturated country when it comes to genetic diversity.
