Scientific context: All humans share >99.9% of their DNA, and genetic differences between geographic populations are smaller than differences between individuals within any population. "Selection" in this model describes reproductive success in a specific environment — a variant that is advantageous in one context may be neutral or harmful in another. ASHG Statement on Genetics and Race (2018)
A genetic variant emerges in one geographic region and may spread via gene flow between neighboring populations. This models how human migration and admixture distribute genetic variation — not how populations "replace" each other. All populations shown are part of one continuous human species with constant gene flow throughout history.

These simulations model simplified population genetics for educational purposes. Real human populations are not discrete units — gene flow is continuous, and geographic frequency differences reflect migration history and environmental adaptation. ASHG 2018
