Is it true that human genetic diversity is lower than in other apes?
Unclear. A peer-reviewed review states human genetic diversity is among the lowest among primates, though some primates are comparable or lower, and a Smithsonian page notes human within-species difference is smaller than chimpanzee. These partially support the claim but do not fully settle the human-versus-other-apes comparison.
