The purpose of all the analysis of genes and how they relate to such things as disease and mental and physical abilities and so forth is to understand ourselves. That was why the Human Genome Program got funded. Then when people noticed that you could do things like associate various aspects of human health and human abilities with genetic heritage, the paywalls started to appear, or if you prefer the conspiracy theory, they kept the results from you after you paid the bill.
One early result of the HGP was the recognition that there is actually little sense to the traditional racial goupings African/Asian/European, which are based on skin pigmentation, which is hardly relevant. The HGP disclosed that there are actually between seven and twenty-odd races depending upon how high you set the number of distinct genetic differences that determine a "race" of humans. These "races" resulted from geographically isolated groups of humans as the mutations accumulated. Nowadays humans travel so much that such groupings are rapidly blurring togather in the merry mixing of genes.
