“Race is not an accurate or productive way to describe human biological variation”
–Heather J.H. Edgar and Keith L. Hunley, Race Reconciled, 2009:2
There is one human race.....
With several sub-groups that are obviously the same race......
A human is a hybrid if they are....
1. an offspring of two animals or plants of different races, breeds, varieties, species,
2. a person whose background is a blend of two diverse cultures or traditions
3. something heterogeneous in origin or composition: composite
There is a division in the disciple of anthropology.......
Those, like you that say humans are too similar to be different races.....
And those, like me, that use evidence to illustrate the biological cause for human racial classifications......
In other words.....
An anthropologist could determine an individuals race based on their DNA alone.............
Most of the people who says there are not enough biological differences for race are usually soft or either a feminist..............
Intimidated to challenge the status quo...........
THERE ARE NO HUMAN RACES ONLY ONE HUMAN RACE THE SUB GROUPS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT DO NOT FIT THE BIOLOGICAL DEFINITION OF RACE.
The status quo is academia has a long history of being made up of white supremacist and other racist of many kinds thankfully that is changing.
"Our results also have implications for the discussion about the existence of races in the human species from the phenotypic point of view because they support the notion of an absence of discrete biological groups. . . . The results presented here demonstrate that roughly one-third of the pairs of individuals within a population are more different than pairs of individuals between populations. This indicates that cranial morphology is less able to identify nonclinal variations among populations (which would be in accordance with the existence of biological races in the human species) than molecular data" Craniometric Similarities Within and Between Human Populations in Comparison with Neutral Genetic Data
André Strauss, Mark Hubbe
The result is a continuous straight line ranging from the darkest extremes to the lightest extremes in skin color. There are no identifiable clusters. . . . Researchers are of course free to subdivide this continuum into different groups, but such clustering would be arbitrary and subjective in terms of the number of groups and the cutoff points used to distinguish them. The lack of apparent clusters is a reflection of the fact that skin color shows a classic pattern of clinal variation. Race and global patterns of phenotypic variation John H. Relethford*
Here we go.....
"There is only 2% difference in DNA in any two humans"
This is true......
However, 2% of DNA can contain more information that the human mind can fathom.....
The first is talking about cranium similarities............
Again there are two schools of anthropology....
"This formulation is proclaimed on the websites of major social-science organizations. "Race is about culture, not biology," states the American Anthropological Association. Too bad that it's incorrect, but that's not the worst of it. The social-science creed has permeated the thinking of most college campuses so deeply that race, in the genetic sense, has become a taboo word. This has serious consequences for the advance of knowledge."
