True or False: if false, choose the answer that best corrects the statement.
The founder effect and population bottlenecks will generally decrease genetic variation in a population even if the population eventually returns to a large population size.

Humans first evolved in sub-Saharan Africa. Populations of modern humans likely migrated from Africa, populating the rest of the world within the last 100,000 years. A general trend observed in the human population is that the farther a native population is from Africa, the less genetic diversity in that population. What could explain this trend?
