We have already been through a part of it with your insistence that the Chinese were way ahead of the west as has been shown to be wrong. Where would you like to start now? Remember don't get all uppity and snarky, it didn't work out so well last time. Seek knowledge not outcomes.

"Minor ones." ... possibly, but still different


"No, it means that they are humans, not Chimpanzees or Orangutans or molluscs" .... I don't recall I implied that humans were Chimpanzees or Orangutans or molluscs.


"And your evidence for that is what, exactly?" .... Everybody knows that genetics makes you what you are, all except you apparently. Some people are  more susceptible to serious disease than others because of different genetics. Some families breed criminals because of different genetics


Here's a random excerpt ...

A genetic analysis of almost 900 offenders in Finland has revealed two genes associated with violent crime.

Those with the genes were 13 times more likely to have a history of repeated violent behaviour.

The authors of the study, published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, said at least 5-10% of all violent crime in Finland could be attributed to individuals with these genotypes

.

More ....

"Each criminal was given a profile based on their offences, categorising them into violent or non-violent. The association between genes and previous behaviour was strongest for the 78 who fitted the "extremely violent offender" profile.

This group had committed a total of 1,154 murders, manslaughters, attempted homicides or batteries. A replication group of 114 criminals had all committed at least one murder.

These all carried a low-activity version of the MAOA gene, which previous research has dubbed the "warrior gene" because of its link to aggressive behaviour."

A bit more ....

" ......

Despite this view, echoed by many other scientists, there have been several instances of defence lawyers using genetic information to reduce sentences.

In 2009, a court in Italy reduced the sentence of a criminal with genes linked to bad behaviour. In a similar case in the US a murderer's genetic profile was highlighted as a contributing factor for his crime

."

That's interesting, certain genes can mean a lighter sentence

Until you can come up with a peer-reviewed scientific paper, Soren which refutes what I have been saying, all your views are just bullshit based on Racism which Genetics has disproved.  Now, run along, back to your little kiddies' playground where you belong.

I doubt you have evidence of that. Genetics is not a settled science, scientists are still working on it as you can see as late as 2015 they were still doing research. There's nothing concrete about genetics yet, but what is generally accepted is that many people are prone to have genes that make them vulnerable or resistant in one form or another regarding diseases and societal behaviour

If you think that genetic difference is only minor between humans, someone will need to explain why Chinese are what they are, and Australian Aboriginals are what they are .... two vastly and absolutely different species of humans. When the great differences between these two groups are considered, there's a good case for describing them as two distinct races of people

Chinese in the southern half of China are the same distance from the Equator as Aboriginals in Central Australia. Why then don't they look the same? You reckon we all migrated from Africa, yet Southern Chinese are not black, but they've lived in a similar climate to the Australian Aboriginals for millennia. A big difference in genetics might have something to do with why they are so different

Of course, I'm not forgetting that while I'm searching for the truth about Genetics, your research is based on how you can wiggle Genetics into your ideology of multiculturalism and multi-"racial" populations. So what is the purpose of your ideology, does it even have a purpose?

There is nothing concrete about science, you silly fellow.  It is always subject to upheaval as better understanding occurs.  What is known about Genetics is that we know that it is Genetics which makes us, well, us.  Genetics describes the differences between humanity and all other species on the planet.

Quote:


The differences between the various groups of humanity are described by evolutionary adaptation to differing environments.  White people have paler skin because they evolved in the far northern climes where Vitamin D absorption was important where as people with darker skins evolved closer to the equator where it is not as necessary.  Chinese people evolved on the central Asian plains and in the arctic where being able to mask the eye from blizzards and dust storms was important.  Indigenous Australians evolved in India originally, hence their darker skin.  They are different because they have differing evolutions.

This is what Brian is trying so hard to convince us of - he likes to state the obvious ....
