There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |
Fighting pseudoscience isn't free. We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with ![]() ![]() |

Human continental population FST[edit]
Its nowhere near 10-15%, but 3-4% from the latest study to genotype for 783 microsatellite polymorphisms (Rosenberg 2011). If you combined all the studies its well under 10%, see here: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Racialism#Table_comparing_various_genetic.2Fphenotypic_markers_with_the_race_concept
"When we divide the populations into seven geographical regions and estimate three variance components, the within-population component is 93.9%, the among-population-within-region component is 2.4%, and the among-region component is 3.8%." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3531797/
Like Fuerst, you're cherry picking outdated studies on blood groups and serum proteins to get the higher figure.Goblin Face Sciborg S Patel (talk) 21:50, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
