I don't think anybody is denying genetic diversity. What I am denying is that skin color is a good proxy for genetic diversity.

It's PC to deny that race exists. Even if it means cutting off ones nose! Race does not exist. There is no gene that defines race. There are genes that define physical attributes like skin color, color of hair, shape of nose, height, bone structure, intelligence, etc. There is no definition of race in scientific terms. There is nothing in science that defines race. Race is not a scientific term. Race is, aahhh, a term defined by racists. (Edit - I hadn't seen CB's post on Alan Templeton article. That is the overwhelming vast majority and definitive view of biologists.)
