Summary Introduction

To review:

The effect of an increase in the gene flow in the human population on the human phenotypes.

Introduction:

Movement of individuals into (immigration) or out of (emigration) the population can affect the gene pool of a particular population. Gene flow means a geographical redistribution of alleles. Gene flow can lead to mixing pools of genes that might not otherwise mix.

What do you think accounts for such a large amount of genetic variation within human population
Natural selection means that the environment favors survival of some genotypes. From where does diversity in genotypes come?
In what way is diversity intrinsically valuable to a population? How is genotypic or phenotypic diversity maintained if natural selection reduces variation?
