The scientists who study Africa say it has the most genetic diversity in the world and point out that we really know very little about it.
The scientists who study the Amazon rainforest say it has the most genetic diversity in the world and point out that we really know very little about it.
The scientists who study the ocean say it has the most genetic diversity in the world and point out that we really know very little about it.

One almost begins to think that the quest for research grants is the driving force behind much of modern "science".

If the human race began in Africa, then it would be likely that the human diversity there would be greater than elsewhere--some lineages migrated to other continents, but not all.

One of my high school classmates proved that the human race started in Africa, thusly: The Bible says Adam named all the animals, so he must have named the lion. Lions are found in Africa. Therefore, the Garden of Eden was in Africa.

It's hard to argue against that kind of logic.
