What the heck are you doing in the Okavongo Delta?http://www.okavango-delta.net/
newafrica.com

Only very recently populated in any numbers:

The Germans certainly made a mark! The whole place seems to have been constantly marauded from the north forever - a kind of dead end street with the residents subject to constant pressure from the continual breeding to the north. It must be one of the most concentrated gene pool collections in humanity - constant feeding with new genes from the north and I suppose breeding with the locals [the females anyway] and constant death.

I bet human geneticists love it there!

The rest of the world has been expansionary [comparatively] so a few Polynesians with a limited gene pool filled the Pacific Ocean and a few Asians made it over the Bering Straits and filled the Americas. The Europeans only expanded up there in the past 6000 years after the ice ages.

I suppose cyberspace will have links somewhere to 'human gene pool variation and density'.

Those swamp people will soon be able to use Globalstar phones! If South Africa ever lets them [must be some big bribes required and there's not enough money in it to offer sufficient bribe]. South Africa and Zimbabwe do NOT sound like places where humans would want to live [even if they didn't have an AIDS nightmare to deal with].

Actually, thinking a bit more, I suppose most human flow was northwards because that would have been an easier expansion route enabling greater numbers to go that way than into the dead end of the Kalahari. So I guess maybe in Cairo there would be a bigger collection of DNA since that is the way out of Africa and a cross-roads of the world. Asia, Europe and Africa, all meeting between there and Turkey.

People sure are a muddle!
