Well, I never know what GaGers mean when they say the word "Black" when referring to human beings.

But if you are talking about sub-Saharan Africans, consider this;

Most scientists think the human race began in the sub-Sahara. And that is because the greatest genetic diversity in the human race is found there. That could only happen if that is where human beings have lived the longest. That's why Africans have greater genetic differences with each other than with folks outside of Africa.

That's not quite genetic diversity as much as it is ethnic diversity, genetic diversity happens between familial groups. Like you can line 10 people of any color in a row and they'll all be pretty genetically diverse from each other.

Fun fact, there's more genetic diversity within a racial group than there is between racial groups.
