๐ฐ๐ท Genetic Landscape of South Korea
South Korea is one of the most genetically homogeneous nations on Earth โ over 96% of the population shares dark brown eyes and black hair. This means that any deviation from these traits is extraordinarily rare. What makes Korean genetics fascinating is the unusually high AB blood type frequency (11%, compared to ~4% globally) and the virtual absence of Rh-negative blood. Korea's genetic uniformity comes from thousands of years of geographic isolation on the Korean Peninsula.
