Um first of all, i'm mnot sure genetic diversity between races is meaningful to avoid diseases (seeing that race is a cultural construct, and there's vast genetic diversity within a "race"... and I question the idea that at some point everyone will be genetically identical because of intermarriage, especially in a world of nearly 7 billion humans.



It's true its more genetic diversity than "race".


Cabby, those are by countries, way too broad.



You don't see a lot of diversity in those countries...

The researchers administered a battery of 15 cognitive tests designed to measure intelligence. All of the groups had a similar socioeconomic background. But the biracial, half-European/half-Japanese participants outscored both the AEA group and the AJA group on 13 of the 15 tests.]



This is probably because if you norm by income, you're taking an unrepresentative sample of Japahonkies. Mixed Asian/white couples are generally poorer than Asian/Asian couples, even though it's a worthless term that includes too many ethnic groups.

There's far more genetic diversity within races than between races. In additional, racial mixing creates more genetic diversity, not less.


Ily is stupid, as usual.

A lot of that is "junk" DNA. Humans are supposedly 95% (don't know what the most recent figure is) similar to chimps as well, but that doesn't mean anything.

P.S. There is more genetic diversity within people from sub-saharan africa than among the rest of the world combined. Yet we consider all sub-saharan africans "black." More proof Ily is stupid.

At a genetic level, there are no such things as races of humans. The drift and diversity is far too small to identify and subset of humanity as a different race. Less than 15% drift, which is almost the same percentage as expressed by individuals who happen to be siblings of the same two parents.

Race is a cultural phenomenon, not a genetic one.

This is also wrong. There's a huge amount of genetic diversity in singapore, andorra, switzerland, australia and japan. I am not sure about the others on the list.

Well, I'm not even black I'm mulatto. I'm a hybrid.I don't consider myself to be black or white, but the next logical step in human evolution. All animals, including humans, ideally develop symmetrical bodies. Those with mixed DNA get closer to this ideal. Symmetrical individuals are healthier, more athletic, and live longer than their more lopsided counterparts. Because symmetry is such a potent indicator of virility, it's a very attractive trait; both men and women find symmetry sexy. I won the race war!



mexicans are all mixed as well.
thats why theres no black mexicans.


seriously, btw. it was a pbs episode about the history of mexico that touched briefly on the relationship of mexicans and early blacks.
they concluded they all interbred till the blacks were gone and only mulattos remained.


so how does it feel to be mexican?

Funny how liberals spin things to make this a race war against whites and blacks. It was nothing of the sort. They want to fan the flames of violence. Obama is also culpible. He is irresponsible in his statements
