Here's a reminder that in terms of genetic variation, humanity basically consists of 250 kinds of African person and a few more homogeneous emigrant populations.
It makes genetic sense to talk about Europeans as a unit. We're all pretty much the same. It makes no sense to talk about Africans in general, because they are extremely diverse. They have been accumulating diversity for 300,000 years longer than everyone else.
You could move every European to the Moon and not lose diversity.
