If not Toba, it still seems likely that there was a severe population bottleneck at some point. How else can we explain why human genetic diversity is substantially lower than so many other species, including our nearest extant evolutionary relative, the chimpanzee?
- fourtrees 5y agoMight a serial founder effect during the peopling of Eurasia result in low genetic diversity and the fact that diversity increases the closer you get to Africa? Is there a way to distinguish low diversity due to a serial founder effect and a bottleneck cause by a natural catastrophe?
