Homo sapiens originated and evolved in Africa. But over the last few hundred thousand years groups repeatedly left Africa and settled the rest of the planet. Over time each group evolved some of its own distinctive characteristics. Studies of DNA continue to be done and more is learned all the time.

Right now I am reading a fascinating book on this subject written by Charles Murray, "Human Diversity".
