race is not a scientific definable concept afaik [/ QUOTE ] MidGe - How about ethnicity? Everyone knows what we're talking about when we say 'race' - population groups that have developed distinct traits after long periods of reproductive isolation. No different to the term 'breed' amongst dogs - no one would claim a rottweiler and a labrador can't be meaningfully categorized into separate groups. Or that intelligence and behavioral differences don't exist as well as physical ones. Both apparently derive from the same wolf like ancestor not that long ago. Why can't it be the case for humans? |

shandrax, you are stil making the mistake... race is not a scientific definable concept afaik. Correct me if I am wrong. By the way gene pools doesn't do the trick as its boundaries are not aligned with anything like what people are trying to say when they use the word "race". [/ QUOTE ] I'm not a native english speaker, so I can't go into detail about the subleties of the true meaning of the word "race", but I assume you are recurring to something like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human#Race_and_ethnicity As mentioned in the article, it is a matter of perspective. Some scientists say A, others say B and I bet you can even find one for C. |
