Re: [Actually --- with respect to homo sapiens sapiens anyway --- 'race' is much more a sociological and anthropological and political concept then a genetic one.] "Actually, you have it backwards... why mention homo sapiens?" What I mentioned was "Homo sapiens sapiens". In other words... US. The current surviving human sub-species. (Merely saying 'Homo sapiens' would include several long extinct Homo sapiens varients also....) Re: Are you now trying to "prove" darwin's theory of evolution? No one has been able to prove it yet, but now you claim to reference it as fact and proof of your point? That's just silly... (Seems like you may be confused about what I have written. Can you point to WHERE you think I brought up either 'Darwin' or 'evolution'???????????) Re: "To say that all races are exactly equal is a political statement" Since I NEVER SAID THAT in any way, shape, or form, I have no need to defend that 'statement'. What I actually DID say is quite different! I said that the range of genetic variance is GREATER within the various 'racial' sub-groupings and say, any single person picked at random on the continent of Africa, the presumed origin of all Humankind, and any other single individual picked from somewhere else on the planet.... And I also said that humans are more genetically alike than any other living species. No one gene can support the idea of race in humans and, genetics can't reliably show the difference that our eyes tell us seems to be 'major'. The differences actually (from the point-of-view of genetics) ARE NOT major... the differences are vanishingly minute.
