Are genetic faults responsible for economic disparities between continents?

In summary, there is a discussion on a forum and a news article about a study that compares 15 individuals to 20 individuals to draw conclusions about genetic faults. Some people believe this method is flawed and may lead to incorrect conclusions. The forum also suggests that these genetic faults may explain the disparity between Europe and Africa in terms of wealth and prosperity. However, it is also mentioned that the study may have drawn more conclusions than intended.

My vote is that any comparison of 15 individuals to 20 individuals to draw population-wide conclusions on such an open-ended fishing expedition of a question fits the criteria of garbage in, garbage out.

Maybe the news article and the forum chatter link drew a few more conclusions than the study might have been looking for.
