The Genesis flood killed all humans except Noah, his wife, his sons, and their wives. Since all males were genetically descended from Noah, but the females were genetically diverse, we would expect that female genetic diversity would be greater than male genetic diversity. This claim can be tested through an examination of mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) compared to Y-chromosome genetic diversity. |
