Are there any groups of humans who have DNA that is vastly divergent from every other group of humans?

I want serious scientific answers if possible please and no racist or blatantly ideological ones.

I'm not sure what you mean, there's plenty of isolated populations worldwide.

Different races are the example of divergent evolution at a starting level, it doesn't get more "vast" than this.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if you aren't north/ sub saharan african then you're not of the purest human genes so I guess you are divergent?

Mutants from X-Men are not real.

Mutations happen constantly, each individual human probably has quite a few mutations in their unique DNA. Most of the time this results in no noticeable change. Sometimes it results in decreased fitness or death. Very rarely will a mutation actually create a benefit and improve fitness.

A mutation doesn't need to be beneficial to be passed on though.

>blue eyes are considered as more attractive
>bore & better breeding partners

it's obviously beneficial

Maybe, but who's to say it first appeared on an "attractive" person?

it make person more attractive, thus improving breeding chances and spreading genes responsible for blue eyes

>>7957529
Ehhh, if you don't have a pretty face your blue eyes won't do shit.

t. blue eyes

By your logic green eyes should be evolutionarily advantageous too, yet they are the lowest occurring eye type.

Look up the Basque people of Spain and France. Their genome is very particular, scientists have done plenty of studies on them for that very reason
