Summary

This is a reproduction of the map made by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_Luca_Cavalli-Sforza" class="extiw" title="en:Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza">Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza</a> in his book The History and Geography of Human Genes (1994). It displays the genetic relationship between human populations based on principal component analysis. Description from page 136 (unabridged edition): "The color map of the world shows very distinctly the differences that we know exist among the continents: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negroid" class="extiw" title="en:Negroid">Africans</a> (yellow), <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasoid" class="extiw" title="en:Caucasoid">Caucasoids</a> (green), <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongoloid" class="extiw" title="en:Mongoloid">Mongoloids</a>, including American Indians (purple), and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australoid" class="extiw" title="en:Australoid">Australian Aborigines</a> (red). The map does not show well the strong Caucasoid component in northern Africa, but it does show the unity of the other Caucasoids from Europe, and in West, South, and much of Central Asia."
