Trump: Who do you like more, the country or Hispanics?

It make her opinion worth more then some random dude on the internet ranting about races.

[conan]

You really should read up on Human Genome Project.

You can have two Europeans people that have many similar traits with one of them matching closer to someone in Asian then those two Europeans.

It’s eye opener.

Having a degree in science doesnt mean we have to buy everything she is writing/claiming. The content of her article doesnt prove wrong the race theory, as herself talks about races to make the one or other point. And…scientists can write political articles as well…

Furthermore, even when region-specific alleles did appear, they only occurred in about 1% of the people from that region—hardly enough to be any kind of trademark. Thus, there is no evidence that the groups we commonly call “races” have distinct, unifying genetic identitie s.

You dont understand how genetics works.
Sometimes, a single allel makes the difference regarding a charateristic

Here’s an idea.

If you think the 5 race classification is supported by hard (“natural”) science, please provide us with a link to support your claim.

Preferably something published within the last 50 years.

With wolves it mostly is. Not so much with dogs.

I’m confused. Maybe I’m misunderstanding you.

You appear to have said to Tommy that the alpha thing does not apply to canines (dogs), but does apply to lupines (wolves).

Now you appear to be saying the opposite to me.

Dogs and wolves are both of the genus canis. Canis Lupis is the species. Lupine simply means “looks like a wolf”. Dogs will definitely alpha. It probably has to do with domestication (just a guess). So backwards.

I have a blue heeler and a freedom shepherd. The latter is younger and outweighed by 30 lbs, but is definitely the alpha. And the blue heeler is the baddest dog on the road.

Most of that ■■■■ was done by the Dixiecrats who are now Republicans.

Dixiecrats are now mostly dead.

True…as are all those Democrats who supported: “slavery, secession, Civil War, jim crow, kkk, lynching, segregation, standing in schoolhouse doors, water cannons”

Race is an ever shifting social construct. There was a time when the Irish coming to America were not considered white.

Jews have been “white” for less than a hundred years. We still aren’t, to many.

Italians for less than that.

Ok. I don’t disagree with you.

Im guessing that the scientists at Stanford who were involved in the study understand it better than an anonymous poster’s unsubstantiated opinion

[CanadianJudo]

Native in Canada were not classed as “persons” legally till 50 years ago.
race is hella stupid.

That Lady proves nothing scientifically, she just claims things.

Humans have definitely the same genome, but there are different combinations of certain allels which define different races and the junction has become more and more fluently since there is more and more race mixing

@WuWei

Culture is all that matters.

It is. But, that is a big nut to crack and the elephant in the room that is too much of a hot potato for the politically correct to tackle.

[CanadianJudo]

is race mixing good or bad?

She is a scientist, you are not nor have you proven a single thing scientifically. You’ve just claimed things.

[zeitgeist]

oooh, that point about the anonymous poster and the scientists you dont understand exactly what they have written and the purpose they issued the one or other article.

The (only) article you linked here as your supreme support, is a political one, no scientific and it doesnt prove wrong the race theory, but much rather claims that the categorization is more difficult than assumed in the past

Wrong, but unsupported opinion noted

In the Stanford study, over 92% of alleles were found in two or more regions, and almost half of the alleles studied were present in all seven major geographical regions.
