How much does race really separate us, genetically?

[Aries]

We have all heard it- Black people are this, jews are that, mexicans are rapists but-
How much does race really separate us, genetically?

"Scientists have long suspected that the racial categories recognized by society are not reflected on the genetic level.

But the more closely that researchers examine the human genome -- the complement of genetic material encased in the heart of almost every cell of the body -- the more most of them are convinced that the standard labels used to distinguish people by "race" have little or no biological meaning.

They say that while it may seem easy to tell at a glance whether a person is Caucasian, African or Asian, the ease dissolves when one probes beneath surface characteristics and scans the genome for DNA hallmarks of 'race.'"

"If you ask what percentage of your genes is reflected in your external appearance, the basis by which we talk about race, the answer seems to be in the range of .01 percent,"

"Dr. Venter and scientists at the National Institutes of Health recently announced that they had put together a draft of the entire sequence of the human genome, and the researchers had unanimously declared, there is only one race -- the human race."


Do Races Differ? Not Really, DNA Shows

There are obvious differences in the different races of our species. Hair, skin tone, facial features, shapes of body parts(Asian eyes) all kinds of stuff.
However, we are all humans, so physical features shouldn't make a damn.

But there is a difference in the spiritual make up of human beings.

Compare a SteveMcGarrett to a Emily Ngheim, or an koshergrl to a kevinkennedy.

People might argue there are mental differences but idk if that is just because of culture. Sure, blacks have a lower IQ than everyone else, but why is the important question. Its not because of their melatonin.

In b4 the Polack. Back later after he finds this.

It is in truth intellect that divides us. Consider Flakey and myself: I am a far better man.

Race has nothing to do with it.

When you ignore biology, the differences are endless.

If you've ever seen those ancestry commercials , we are all mixed up anyway .

So you think that you and Honey Boo Boo have a higher IQ than Condaleeza Rice?

I think that says more about you racists than anything else.

No race, only culture have meaning.

That's the point of the article. Scientifically all differences are superficial having to do with appearance. So no, blacks don't have a lower IQ than everyone else, genetically.

My post had nothing to do with racism, you closed minded prick. They GENERALLY have a lower IQ. That's fact, its not racism. Grow up.

After comparing IQ, people usually start to compare a length of penis of different coloured people... But you're a cunning fox, switching discussion by your example....

But there is still differences.
Like I said, I don't think their lower iq has much to do with their race as it does culture.

differences in physical appearances that makes up about .01% of our genes.

We are not all "mixed up", present company excluded, obviously.

It makes up DNA idiot!

DNA dictates whether we are earth worms or people. Your calculation is wrong, and so WTF do you expect?

That is a simply stupid argument.
