In point of fact, within-group genetic diversity is way bigger than
between-group diversity, pretty much no matter what you look at.
Yeah, most wrestlers are going to have European ancestry, and most
runners East African, but if all the different ethnoi of humanity
except one were exterminated (and I mean a small one, not a whole
nation-state), we would still retain 80% of the diversity in the
human genome.
