    raycity … trouble facing the reality that you’re not genetically superior ?

    raycity–
    In scientific terms, there is no such thing as race. It’s a fiction. People like to use the concept to group people together who they think look different, but there are absolutely no measures that differentiate among “racial” groups. Genetically speaking, we have no more than subraces - mere variations of the general gene pool, none of which are significant. One noted geneticist determined through genetic blood groups that if you wiped out every human being on Earth except for one inbred tribe in New Guinea, you would retain 85% of the variability of the human genotype. In other words, we’re just a wide-ranging species.
    Stephen Jay Gould wrote a very readable book on the misuse of IQ measures to separate gender, race, etc., called The Mismeasure of Man, which talks about the history of this sort of thing.
    But get it straight: there is only one race: the human race.

    motive … I’ve been wondering when someone would state “one race;the human race”. Years ago I participated in a six week seminar/course in human relations. About forty of us, varied ages, backgrounds and mixed gender. We were together 24/7 and it proved one of the most difficult and valuable courses I have ever had both in applied effort and emotional expenditure. I guess I’m a little sensative to some of the digs as some things just never seem to change.

    I heard that the biggest gene variation from a people to another is 1 percent so no matter the race, 99 percent of our genes is the same. We also share 90 percent of our genes with primates and 75 percent with dogs…(I saw that in my psychology textbook, long ago).

    Except most humans know better than stick their wet noses on a metal fire hydrant when it’s minus thirty! Eh, Sooky?

    And depending on how you count, 95% with chimpanzees. Explains a lot, doesn’t it?

    raycity smart! I doubt he could empty a boot full of water with directions written on the heel.

    hmmm … post removed. Didn’t think I said anything controversial. Was pointing out someone else’s moron-ness.

    <<<<<< Maybe he relieved himself on the wrong fire hydrant this time?
