In the text, the author states that the genetic differences between two individuals of each group was greater than the average differences between the two groups as a whole.
Genetic difference or variation refers to the difference in DNA sequences between individuals within a population. Variation can occur in germ cells i.e., sperm and egg, and also in somatic cells. Using the example of Icelandic villagers and Kenyans, the author explains that five percent of genetic variations was observed among individual from different population group while approximately ninety five percent of genetic variation existed in the individuals within populations. Hence the genetic differences between two individuals of each group were greater than the average differences between the two groups as a whole.
Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is “No more than 5 percent of the genetic differences among humans arise from population group differences. Some 95 percent of genetic variation exists within populations”. (Rosenberg et al, 2002 in Myers, p. 136) How does the text's author explain the statement above using the examples of Icelandic villagers and Kenyans?
