Add genetic diversity fields

[arschat]

For which schema is a change/update being suggested?

I would like to request updates to the human_specific.json& the medical_history.json schema.

What should the change/update be?

I would like to add 4 current residence/ 4 place of birth/ 2 ethnicity/ 2 language fields to the human_specific.json schema and 4 reproduction and 1 diet field to the medical_history.json schema to allow data contributors to record those new genetic diversity fields.
