Non-Africans descend from bottlenecked African migrants 60,000 years ago with far less genetic diversity than Africans.

All modern humans trace to African ancestors. Greatest human genetic diversity exists within Africa. Non-Africans carry reduced gene pool from small migrant group out of Africa. Genetic bottleneck out of Africa occurred around 60,000 years ago. African hunter-gatherers split from non-African ancestors 130,000 years ago. West Africans diverged from other Africans around 90,000 years ago. Substantial population substructure existed in Africa before out-of-Africa migration. Ancestors of Sahulians split from Eurasians 51,000-72,000 years ago. Denisovan admixture highest in Sahulians due to early split. Possible extra out-of-Africa migration 120,000 years ago visible in some Sahulians. Neanderthal admixture occurred in Eurasians. Less genetic variation between non-Africans than within Africans due to serial founder effects. African genomes show deeper divergence times than non-African ones. Pioneers reached Australia rapidly after leaving Africa. Second migration into East Asia from West Eurasia occurred later.
