My question for behavioral genetics is: is there enough genetic variation in humans to make meaningful studies? We have nucleotide diversity (π) of 0.001, which is less than cheetahs, 0.069.
Our gene pool seems puddle small.

@WiringTheBrain @utafrith Fantastic thread. Maybe you can help me out with something: Are humans really less genetically diverse than inbred rats and mice? Humans have nucleotide diversity (π) of ~0.001; inbred mice π ~0.0055, inbred rats π ~0.0022.
