Re: Scientists Find A DNA Change That Accounts For White Skin
There's also another piece of basic knowledge most people ignore. Humans are xenophobes by nature. Fearing the unknown is an ingrained survival machanism. Thus its not a simple task to overcome the manifetations of that nature simply by exposing the facts. On a evolutionary scale, we're not all that far removed from our hunter-getherer ancestors wandering the Savannahs.
It's frustrating, but some things just take time and effort. I recall once saying to a friend that I thought intermarriage was a good thing because eventually racial distinctions would disappear. He shrugged and said that wouldn't change anything. People would just find other reasons to hate each other.
