✦ Synopsis

Humans are among the most genetically variable species in existence. The advent of new genetic tools for analyzing this variation has uncovered even greater variability than previously recognized. These genetic data, available at multiple biological levels, are yielding new insights into population structure, population history, and evolutionary dynamics. This review highlights several issues in human diversity studies utilizing samples drawn from studies of South American populations.
