| PSintend0 said: The world is not black and white and the taxonomic system is by no means perfect. All of its boundaries are not clearly cut, but it still serves a purpose and is meaningful. As for races the different populations of human species are just too similar to each other, they are nowhere near meeting the minimum criteria for mammal species for having races. |
No, no ...
What is "meaningful" is purely subjective and there is a valid evolutionary history as outlined by Rosenberg to biologically group these human populations ...
The so called "criteria" is worthless too if these exceptions exist hence why there is no "hard" rule as to how groups may be defined ...
| PSintend0 said: Its just so and isn´t up to you, its up to the scientific community, who (not all but many) by the way started studying human genetics with the assumption that there would be races and all kinds of different attributes like intelligence being higher with white people when compared to black people. That was not the case and science moved on as it should. Science is based on the most recent information and tries to adapt to better explain the world around us. |
And it's not up to Marxist ideologists like yourself to determine what the scientific community can or can't rule ... 
(that is why liberals are dishonest when it comes to the subject of genetics and should just stick to just climate science and it should instead be the alt-right that funds genetics research more often)
As for your other half of the paragraph and independent study published by the APA says https://www.mensa.ch/sites/default/files/Intelligence_Neisser1996.pdf+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ca">otherwise ...
| PSintend0 said: Evolution is often very slow and it takes time for races to form and from them to form new species. This also doesn´t only go in one way and isolated populations may start to become less isolated and mix more with other populations making them more similar again. One of the classifications of a species is that different species cannot produce offspring that are able to reproduce. Two closely related species can sometimes still reproduce, but the offspring cannot reproduce (for example mule). The concept of human race has much more to do with history and politics than biology. Its really quite interesting. |
This is not entirely true, there are most definitely fertile offsprings produced by 2 different species such as the polar bear/grizzly and let's not forget that humans used to do interspecies breeding with the Homo Neanderthalensis and possibly the Homo Erectus. It's one of the many reasons why geneticists are able to order populations such as those with Sub-Saharan ancestry having the least amount of neanderthal DNA while those with East Asians/Oceania ancestry have the highest concentrations of neanderthal DNA ...
If the concept of human race couldn't be biologically ordered then then there wouldn't any evidence for it and it would be the end of discussion but what's more is that the vast majority of current evidence so far has yet to be discredited ...
