Many scientists think that roughly 50,000-100,000 years ago humanity was reduced to a population size of about 3,000-10,000 individuals due to the Mount Toba volcanic eruption. With such a small number of individuals humanity has extremely low genetic diversity (i.e. we are all very closely related to each other.)
