[QUOTE="grizloch:827916"]I'm going to assume, likely incorrectly, that you are truly ignorant to this concept and hit you up with a lesson handed to me by John H. Relethford, who literally wrote the book containing the common understanding of human origins and genetic evolution what exactly constitutes "race"? skin color? how black is black? how white is white? is it region of origin? how far back do you go when you say origin? what percentage of a persons lineage has to be from a certain place to make them, say, white? what happens to that theory when you factor in that all humans originate in Africa? if you want to look at ANY biological marker, keep in mind that biological variation exists in all populations, and defining one as unique to "blacks" or "whites" is highly improbable (I use that term because impossible isn't very scientific) if you can find a provable correlation between skin color (which in itself is 100% relative) and intelligence or any other biological ability (again, relative) I'll be the first to sign on board, but until you or anyone else does that, than race in a biological (and political) context exists only as a figment of 200 year old theorists' imaginations Yes there are current scientists who argue for the race concept, claiming that biological markers-ie cranium size, presence of greater fast twitch muscle mass, penis size, eye sight, etc (whose variation from the whole of the human population ranges to a MAX of 16%) shouldn't be ignored, but then that is only greater thantypical variation in the average joe by 4%, which would be true (although not particularly important) IF the researchers had bothered to define race in a useful manner (which again is highly improbable) if you want to show me whatever sources you are using to back up the "differences between races" I'll be sure to look them over and tell you why they are wrong, if you don't think I'm an adequate source, I'll forward them on to Relethford, who I'm sure would be more than happy to tell you why they are wrong[/QUOTE]
