Yes Ruth, but weren't they all related??? A man, his wife, his three sons and their wives. God had a hand in it too.

As long it was only his hand, then the answer is the same. Not enough of a genome. By a long long way.
Actually, though, I think someone did calculate that the original group entering Asia was only a few thousand. DOn't recall, exactly. Later, a similar sized group went to Europe. MOre than 90% of people remained behind. Consequently, more than 90% of the genetic variation is in Africa, and there is many times more genetic variation in just a small country in Africa than in the rest of the planet. The various tribes are less related to each other than, for example, Europeans and Asians are to each other. Go figure.
Hey, yeah, and it looks like chimanzees didn't get isolated and evolve separately from us, sending one on the path to humanity, the other to banana-dom. We shared a common territory at the time. What made the two groups evolved differently? No one knows, not even Nobody. Makes it mysterious.
What an amazing planet.
