I heard once that there is more human genetic diversity within Africa than the rest of the world combined. Even without that, it’s a big place. So there are probably many many answers to your question, unless you can make it more specific.

It’s indeed true. African populations have the highest levels of genetic variation among all humans. Studies of these populations are used to understand demographic changes in Africa and to identify disease-related genes (e.g., APOL1).
