But FST takes into account the diversity within the populations as well as the diversity between them. The measurement here is only looking at Britons, not Whites. So maybe your logic makes sense if the French are also a separate species. But they aren’t. To be accurate you have to take all Europeans or all caucasoids as a group and measure them against all SS blacks. You can’t use some tiny sub-population . Thats not how FST works. Speciation is not based on FST. FST does not measure absolute genetic distance!
