LadyE: tho' I haven't "googled" to check  I believe you are arguing the discredited Lamarckian view, that the root cause of the evolution in living things is the environment.

For example if black people with no recessive genes to dictate otherwise lived at the North Pole no matter how long they stayed there they would never turn white or begin to look like Eskimos.


No, I am arguing that environment (including in our case cultural environment, and the selective breeding involved in commercial slavery) will make some traits better in terms of adaptation, than others and that these traits are more likely to survive and be passed down - those not so adapted will die out and/or not find enough reproductive options for their traits to survive and be passed down. I dont know who the hell Lamarck might be by the way - I'm just going from what I know of evolution and my observations of the world. I know for sure that were I transplanted to central Africa or Australia, I would be dead within a month - I am not built for that environment.

To argue that a population of Africans or Australians transplanted towards the poles would not eventually lose their pigmentation, is to say that we Europeans ought rightly to not have acquired our current skin tones - we are talking here in terms of millennia for changes to occur. That even within Europe it is observable that skin tone changes from the Med to Scandinavia is sufficient for me to conclude that adaptations to skin tone are a function of environmental adaptation, and that differences in appearance are merely variations on a theme. Perhaps in a few millennia we might be able to establish who is correct by observing changes in the 17th century Dutch settlers of South Africa.

To argue that skin tone is some unmalleable trait, such that we Europeans could not possibly have originated from Africa but developed separately, is to hold that somehow, through some marvellous coincidence, a single species arose spontaneously and simultaneously in different places AND developed language spontaneously and simultaneously AND developed cultures spontaneously and simultaneously. Its possible of course, but far less likely than the idea that we came from Africa and dispersed over the Earth - and even more less likely when one considers that at root, we share so much of what are to the first observation, distinct cultural ideas, suggesting some common origin.

I never said that.
Tho' I would not admit it when arguing with Darwinists  I do believe that some form of evolution may have taken place. Evolution as taught comes unstuck with the first cause/interdependant complexity  arguments.
Also I am as sure as I can be that it is not chance based thassal.

So all told not one biochemical difference between races.

Spectrum differences do not exist or are no differences between populations? (Note that biologists use the accurately defined word population instead of lay people that use the ill-defined word race; arguably such lay people are racists. In all my posts on CM forums I do not speak about races, but about populations.)
 
If spectrum differences between populations did not exist, such as those between the populations of one side of the river and the other side of the river, for biologists the word would have no meaning.
 
DK, spectrum differences between populations do exist. You insisting that spectrum differences between populations are not actual differences is not logical.

But spectrum issues are not biochemical differences between 'races'. For any given spectrum issue you can find members of each population with the same thing, lactose tolerance for instance.

Luckydog, just a minot nitpick, recent research indicates the frst domesticated dogs originated from wolf stocks in central asia but there is evidence that it may have happened a couple of times.

As to Pangea, it broke up in the Mesozoic long before the hominid line emerged.

Seeks, I dare you to present anything you think disproves evolution.

Sure, that is why biologists discarded the stupid race concept and switched to the precisely defined concepts of populations and gene pools. Such populations however are defined by their spectrum differences in phenotype, genotype and biochemistry. If they were not, they would be the same population. As such, populations are artificial concepts that are primarily defined by breeding potential. Hypothetically a population of intrabreeding potato growers may be distinguished from a intrabreeding population of sheep farmers and the gene flow between both gene pools might be determined.

Makes Seek's case without him even saying a word.

In a debate, do you not think it is better to debate the issues and not another's intelligence and/or education? Unless, of course, you are trying to obfuscate.

I'm staying out of this debate, but really, must you be rude to those you disagree with?

You're right but that still isn't a biochemical difference between the so called races which is what this was all about. You cannot say this or that collection of traits means this person is definitely of race X.

"As you have been told many times recently, Mr. Eugenics, ain't no such thing as "race". Fact of the matter is, your ancestors come from all over the fucking place. Even Mongolia! But they originally came from Africa. That's right, Mr. White. You're Black!!!! Hahahaha "


This paragraph brings a question to mind.  I am seriously asking because I do not know. 

While it is scientifically accepted that Mankind originated in Africa, Is there any evidence that they were black?  People have done quite a bit of moving around over the millenia. 

Termn8tr, do you honestly think Asians are physically incapable of making an "r" sound?   WTF?!?!  Have you ever met an asian american?

Quite.
 
Unlike racists I do not recognize as having relevance the obsolete word race. So for me this has never been a discussion about race. Nor do I think that such was the intent of the opening poster. His issue was that whenever a discussion touches on differences between populations any rational discussion is being precluded by sanctimonious bleeding heart sentimentalists that get in a hysterical rage - whether or not they are eligible for an hysterectomy - and that start to scream terms as "racist!" and that start a smear campaign against perfectly innocent people. T argued for a rational discussion, but ratio is precisely what some of these hysterics evidently lack.
 
I have hidden the posts of at least two of them hysterics and I may very well add two more to my list of about 31 posters whoms posts I have hidden from my view.

But white people did not originate in Europe, they came from Central Asia.  Lady E much of what you are noting is called genetic drift, which is not enviromently derived evolution.  If the Scandanavians had interbred, instead of declaring them non human adn trying to wipe them, with out the inhabitants of thier lands when they showed up in Northern Europe, they would be brown and have slanted eyes.  We don't have to wait a few millenia to find out what happens to the Dutch South Africans.  Unless the dutch do nothing but interbreed, they will turn the same color as most of the genes around them.  IF they do only interbreed , in a few millenai they would be retarded imbeciles probably unable to reproduce, with horrible genetic defects.   We have 10 millenia of data on the Innuit.  The Innuit have lived in the Northern Climes for far longer than the Whites, and they did not turn white as a result.  Well actually some did via genetic drift.  The Russians over ran the Aluet, and many of them are now blue eyed and white as me.  Same goes for many Sami.  Slavs ( as opposed to a White Russian) look as they do because they have been invaded and raped so many times.  Same goes for Southern Europe.

Well well well. I would like to thank everyone for their input. I have learned a few things.

Vocabulary :

What I have called a theory is actually a hypothesis.
What I have called race is actually population.
What I have called better is _________ I am still waiting for an answer on that one.

What those who disagree with me have done is to do me a great service. You prove my point. I have used the wrong words, but the concept is the same.

We seem to have digressed into Darwinism, and all kinds of things, and I am not bitching about it because I now have another thought. There is another factor that makes the examination of this subject more difficult.

War.

Consider this, governments draw lines between countries. My Mother is Chekoslovakian, but is she Chech or Slovak. She calls herself Slovak, and that is the point. Just to illustrate this, there used to be a Chech Republic and Slovakia. They were melded together by governments. From what I hear they did not always get along, but what did you expect ?

To think in terms of populations is required I think for a thorough examination of this subject. Germanic populations include Swedes, etc., but then they are Celtic no ? Or perhaps instead of them being Germanic, maybe the Germans are Swedic ? Or Austriic ? (to coin a word). To get to the heart of the matter a study of history might be needed, old history. Before a hundred governments popped up and started vieing for territory.

This does complicate matters a bit, the study/discussion of the subject might be more difficult, but I think it a worthy endevor. Even those who disagree with me do bring up some points worthy of consideration. I will not deny that, but I just refuse to play the quoting game.

But we still come down to this, why can't we talk about our differences ? If they did not exist life would be mighty boring. Those who argue against this seem to have a central point, and that is difference means inequality. I am accused of having a limited view of life, with a 200 IQ.

But as such I must now step back and realize that others might not be quite as enlightened. I have to realize that some have to cling to those fairy notions that everybody is the same under the skin, because it anything else undermines their self esteem.

Some, who might be at the disadvantage seem to lash out, and in this type of venue will disect a post and try to strike down each sentence. And then others respond to the response. Rule, you do this as well. As much as I agree with you I think this is beneath you. I will simply not respond sentence by sentence. It does not work because the context, or the form, is lost.

What happens psychologically is that someone reads something which goes against their teaching. When that happens their insecurity shows, and it shows that each sentence is seen as a personal assault on their knowledge base. Thus instead of responding to the whole post, using possibly a quote or two, they have the tendency to try to shove the author's words back down there throat in revenge, for assaulting them.

I have learned a bit about human nature here, and it is not from reading the lines nor reading between the lines, but from reading beyond the lines. I can see this plain as day. The indoctrination from the theo-economo-scientists is quite effective I see.

That evidenced by saying anything other than that we are all the same under the skin results in a problem. I am not bitching, I am not leaving. In fact I enjoy the opportunity to get somewhat of a cross section of opinions on the things I start.

While I agree that the equality dogma needed to be strong in the earlier years of this country, when racial equality was being preached, I do not see a reason for it now. You do not have to bend over backwards and give someone of another race a kidney to prove the point. You do not have to ignore racial, oops, populational differences when discussing these theories, oops, hypotheses.

People thought this thread was supposed to be about race. They were wrong.

People thought this thread was supposed to be about physiology, they were wrong.

This thread was supposed to be about WHY we can't speak of our differences in a scientific, rational light. And it seems that point is proven given the content. But the question still remains, WHY ?

I know the answer, but if I tell you you'll never believe it. You'll never accept it. I brought up this subject to generate some thought on the matter, and for you to come up with your own answers, but none have really done that. They have merely expressed viewpoints that have been impressed upon them in the past. We are not moving forward and I have a hypothesis on that as well. I'm not going into that right now, but when I do watch out.

No progress. I have not changed my opinion one iota. And neither has anyone else.

I grow fatigued of this. I try to sort out things and others use the dogma. I want to understand more, I want to learn more. I wish I could start a thread and kick people out so that we could move on. A couple of people do have a sort of a grasp on the subject, but others are simply never going to stipulate nor capitulate to any ideas not their own. And they don't even realize that most of those ideas were put in their mind by someone else. And that someone else is not their friend.

There are so many errors and even outright lies in modern science that it is not funny. It is holding the human race back, and now I realize just how powerful this indoctrination is. Even in an intelligent and civil discussion such as this, people still must put forth the dogma, like an evangelist.

None of us will ever convince them. I can almost convince you the sky is green, but fighting the dogma is alot harder.

If you would like to hear my case that the sky is green just ask. I'll tell you what, the people with the dogma might actually be convinced, know why ? Because they have not been indoctrinated otherwise. Easy. But fighting this indoctrination is beyond the capabilities of most. Even me.

So, let's get a Cuban to eat a couple of Big Macs, a Japanese to drink a twelve pack of beer and by all means let's just get those transfusion rigs up and just share blood. If we are all the same under the skin there certainly can't be blood types. Just mix it all together. And when you need an organ tansplant, like a liver or kidney or something, just buy one anywhere. We are all the same under the skin remember ?

I know Rule is going to pick up on that last one. Heredity is a BIG factor in determining organ transplantability. I guess it is all a lie. People lay in wait for organs when they are universally compatible because we are all the same under the skin. What a great injustice !

So which is it, were they lying then or are they lying now ? Or do they just do those tissue match tests and all that before a transplant just for the money ?

I think that is enough for now.

To the best of my knowledge there exists no evidence as to the origin of white or blacks anyway.
Of course if Natural Selection is true then you are right.
It it aint then you aint. If you catch my drift.

You are perpetuating the Lamarkian fallacy, as I pointed out to LadyE.
As it currently stands Natural Selection teaches that environment does not drive evolutionary change.

Sorry to have to say this but many of those who are committed to Natural Selection actually dont understand it at all.

That is very percipient. You are right. So that is what wrong with them: an inferiority complex. They are afraid, indoctrinated by those stupid IQ tests, and do not realize their own marvelous potential in other respects of the human mind. Thus in their hysteria they attack those that would protect them.

You are right again. It is beneath me. They do have not any chance to match me. Having one eye, none can defeat me. I have no peers. It is lonely at the top. As far as I recall in nearly two thousand five hundred posts only Focus50 was able to make me acknowledge being wrong.

But...how does that help make the case you're trying to make? (I haven't been keeping up with the thread, so, don't even know what it is)
But, to belittle another's intelligence instead of answering their comments, seems to me to make your own comments less compelling.

Didn't you say you had an IQ of 200? Well, then, surely you would know that measurement at the extremes of any bell curve is problematic. You DO know what a bell curve is, right?
"It is generally acknowledged vos Savant has an extremely high intelligence quotient (IQ) score, and she has held memberships with the high-IQ societies Mensa International and the Prometheus Society.[5] But there is much confusion over the actual value, with data and calculations variously yielding 167+, 186, 218, 228, and 230. Extremely high IQ measurement is an inexact science: high IQs are very difficult to quantify because so few people have IQs at that level, giving rise to the problems associated with small sample sizes; ceiling bumping caused by tests not designed to measure such high IQs; and fat tailing which gives the impression more high IQs exist than predicted by a normal distribution. Moreover, there are general disagreements and controversies over the validity of IQ scoring at any level." Wikipedia
So your IQ is right up there with Marilyn vos Savant, right? I have heard some amazing shit talked on teh Interwebs, but some people on forum take the cake.

ok, the last word is this; people are people. We all have faults flaws and problems. Certain 'races' have been known to have faults flaws and problems. Like...well...I'm French...I drink too much and love sex. (and food) We're also supposed to be skinny.
Huh.
That one must have missed me.
I do like croissants, wine and cheese though... *lol*
There are good people and bad people of every race, creed and colour.
Can ANYONE please tell me why we have to treat different races, creeds and colours different from others?
