Allied with an analysis of how Homo sapiens has spread out of Africa and around the world, this will give a fine-grained picture of human evolution—and possibly a controversial one if differences between geographical groups emerge in sensitive areas such as intelligence and behaviour. Such phenotypic areas are also being investigated in studies looking at variation within populations, for GWAS is being extended beyond the realm of disease to examine intelligence, personality type, religiosity and even the ability to make money. As the cost of genome sequencing falls dramatically (see below) we are going to set the intelligence record straight.
