Abstract: This article delves into the intricate concepts of homogeneity and heterogeneity within human populations, shedding light on how factors like ancestry, environment, ethnicity, and gene-environment interaction research contribute to our understanding of diversity. Through an exploration of real experiments and methodologies, we navigate the complexities surrounding race, genomics, and the evolving discourse on human differences.
