๐ณ๐ฌ Genetic Landscape of Nigeria
Nigeria is Africa's most populous nation and one of its most ethnically diverse, with over 250 ethnic groups speaking 500+ languages. The Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo peoples each carry distinct genetic signatures shaped by millennia of independent evolution. Nigeria has the highest rate of natural twin births in the world, particularly among the Yoruba. While physical traits appear homogeneous on the surface, the genetic diversity within Nigeria rivals that of entire continents.
