How evolve helps humans

Understanding Human Diversity

Human diversity is a result of evolutionary processes, including adaptation to different environments and genetic drift. Understanding this diversity involves studying the genetic, cultural, and environmental factors that shape human populations. For example, variations in skin colour are an adaptation to different levels of ultraviolet radiation in various parts of the world. By examining human diversity through an evolutionary lens, scientists can better understand health disparities, ancestry, and the impact of migration and adaptation on human populations.
