When we compare levels of genetic variation in a contemporary African population to that of a contemporary non-African population, we find there is more variation in the African population. The reason we see this pattern is that:

A. non-African populations represent founder
events.
B. non-African populations have high
mutation rates.
C. non-African populations experience higher
rates of natural selection than do African
populations.
D. African populations experience higher
rates of natural selection than do non-African
populations.
E. African populations experience high rates
of genetic drift.
