Which race is genetically closest to the chimpanzee?

[Iloko]

Anyone know?

[Desperado]

Probably anthrocels.

[Sacrificed Ram]

Some sources say black west africans closes more, but I don't know if it is true.

[Peterski]

People from Anthrogenica know:

Ok folks here is the latest run. I increased the number of markers to around 280/290K, and included some non human primates, Neandertal, Denisova, and more African populations.

Everything below Kostenki14 is less similar to Chimp than Papuan. I color coded by approximate groupings. Neandertal and Denisova results were a little surprising. Otherwise, the pattern seems to be Pygmy groups, followed by SSA non Pygmies, followed by E Africans.

This is strange by the way.

All should be equally close to chimpanzees because the common ancestor of all humans split from common ancestor of all chimpanzees at the same time. Probably only actual chimpanzee admixture (or some other very archaic chimpanzee-like admixture) could make some populations genetically closer to them than others?

[Ibericus]

Africans are, altough the distances are very small :

[Peterski]

So out of modern populations Mbuti Pygmies are closest to chimpanzees and Lithuanians are the least close.

[Desperado]

There is nothing strange, actually. The common ancestors of all humans was still fairly similar genetically to the common ancestors of all chimpanzees. Some human populations have just drifted away from their common ancestor more than the others.

No because humans around the world have admixed with other more archaic humans which had varying degrees of closeness to chimps. In Africa there is probably admixture with some yet unknown hominid.
Also there is genetic drift and evolution (mutations from adaptation) which some populations have had more than others since we became humans.

Or some of them mixed with very archaic hominids (a possible explanation suggested by Megalophias):

What is the source of this PCA and which Native American population is closer to Neanderthals than the rest?

[Sacrificed Ram]

I found some studies saying any human has the same distance to Chimpz and Bonobos, incorrect methods of analysis that result in wrong conclusions:
