Genetically we are all, essentially, identical. It is what allows us to interbreed, Soren. "Race" as you and other racists use the concept is non-scientific and silly but then, that describes you exactly, now doesn't it? Tsk, tsk.  Thanks Brian, if we are all racially identical why do you use the term "white" ? We are Genetically identical, we all share the same Genetic pool. "White" merely identifies a group with paler skin compared to all other Humans, Rhino. There is only one race, the human one. and yet you continue to use terms to delineate between races. You cant have it both ways, either race exists or it doesnt. If it doesnt as you claim then it is pointless to use the term "white" because it doesnt identify anyone other than those with white skin. Thats racism Brian. https://comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/12/128170/2467911-yawn_20smil...When you cease to use the term, I will cease to use the term. When discussing "race" one must use terms that Racists understand otherwise you will be mystified by what I am saying. Are you calling the whole field of forensic anthropology racist? I will never be mystified by what you are saying Brian, my IQ is at least 20 points above yours. https://comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/12/128170/2467911-yawn_20smil..."Forensic Anthropology" describes what people are from physical evidence they have left behind. Their skull shape, their skeleton, etc. These are physical aspects of evolutionary adaptation to external environmental factors. They do not determine an individual's intelligence nor their self-worth nor do they show that individuals with those characteristics are unable to interbreed with other individuals with difference characteristics. Genetics OTOH does that, it shows that we all share the same Genetic pool. It is what determines we are all humans, members of the species Homo Sapien Sapiens. It shows we are all members of the only "race" that exists, the human one. Despite your supposed higher intelligence and IQ score, you have not once argument against those points, Rhino. Quote:Anthropology is a child of Western imperialism.It has roots in the humanist visions of the enlightenment, but as a university discipline and a modem science it came into its own in the last decades of the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries. This was the period in which the Western nations were making their final push to bring practically the whole pre-industrial, non-Western world under their political and economic control.
Until the Second World War most of our field work was carried out in societies that had been conquered by our own governments. We tended to accept the imperialist framework as given, perhaps partly because we were influenced by the dominant ideas of our time, and partly because at that time there was little anyone could do to dismantle the empires.
[ Source] Modern Anthropology was invented in the mid-19th century to justify Racism and the exploitation of non-European peoples. See Introdution to Anthropology: IX. History of Anthropology for a basic explanation of how it was used to justify the exploitation of foreign peoples, Rhino. No evidence for that Brian. as I stated, if races didnt exist then forensic anthropology couldn't exist. Its does and it does. You cannot alter the facts Brian. A great deal of evidence actually, Rhino. What it demonstrates is the poor credentials of Anthropology as a discipline. Forensic Anthropology suffers in that it can only describe the likely "race" that an individual hails from. It cannot prove that they were not a "sport" thrown up from a different one. Genetics overturns the entire concept of "race" and proves how much of a social construct the views expressed by Racists are.
