So it probably doesn't apply to humans. Europeans and east Asians are both mixed with Neanderthals and Neanderthals were a different species. So the difference between modern humans is less

there is a range of difference that still alows breeding, and in this range, you can have hybrids, where the genome is mostly different

neanderthal was just one of the several subspecies of humans that could breed... look up iberomarussian

it's heavy going but if you read this you'll understand that the genetics of north africans were quite distant from most of the similar timed bones found elsewhere on the planet, and actually they are the origin of white skin, and the culture of the iberomarussians were associated with the domestication of cattle

btw, hamming distance is a metric of distance between numbers, and the bigger the numbers get the more complex your scheme of defining the number system, the more difficult it is to evaluate such a thing as a "hamming distance"

Hamming was an early scientist in the field of coding systems and his theories led to merkle trees and galois fields among others, essentially number systems that are based on something other than simple addition and subtraction

Hmm. I once met a Berber girl in Hong Kong... very attractive.

yeah, berber genetics mostly congregate around morocco and nearby but they are the origin of white skin
