But the hapmap team has found a handful of fixed differences in the first million mutations it studied - 11 between Europeans and the Yoruba, 21 between Europeans and Asians and 5 between the Yoruba and Asians.

The common variation picked up by the hapmap is much the same in different ethnic groups, because most of it is inherited from the ancestral human population before modern humans are believed to have dispersed from Africa about 50,000 years ago.

The hapmap researchers have found that the Chinese and Japanese genomes are so similar that they can be grouped together for many purposes.

I will be watching how hapmap awareness propagates, and it is certainly off to a careful start.

Googling "ancestral geography" in order to get a better grasp of the meaning brought up the official hapmap site as the top page of course.

The hapmap team believe they have created a powerful new tool for exploring the human genome but they advise researchers to be careful about publicizing their work, especially when exploring genetic links to human characteristics that are not medical.

The hapmap team has already identified 14 regions of the genome that show signs of having changed in different ethnic groups under the pressure of natural selection.
