2nd sentence is bizarre[edit]

"Individuals within a population share a factor may be reduced by statistical means, but such a generalization may be too vague to imply anything."
(What the hell?)

Another incomprehensible sentence is the last in the "Control" section: "To control of population structure,it measures through efficient mixed-model association (EMMA) method, which corrects for population structure and genetic relatedness in model organism association mapping." These garbled sentences should be rewritten or removed. Regards, ... PeterEasthope (talk) 12:59, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lets split the article[edit]

The article refers to human population. We should split it into "Population (biology)" and into "Population". First paragraph is about population in biology. Teilolondon (talk) 08:42, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. danielkueh (talk) 02:32, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
