There are essentially three difficulties with studying the genetics of human populations : 1. Low biotic potential(relatively long maturity period creates wide generations, and the number of offspring per couple is comparatively low) Human women may have as few as four children throughout their fertile years, and these children will take an average of 16-20 years to reach adulthood. Compare this with rabbits, who can be sexually active as early as three months of age, and produce a litter of 4 to 10 baby bunnies about every 31 days. 2) Little control over breeding- it is not customary in most societies to pair adults for breeding as scientists do with flies and mice. 3) Complexity - Human traits are inherited polygenically, with many genes for one trait. There are continuous and often extreme variations, for example in such traits as physique, skin color, and intelligence.
