Protip; when people say race has no biological basis, they are using a very old definition of race in which races were considered akin to seperate species.

I'm that definition, yes, "race" has nonbiological basis, because it has been proven we are all human.

But it's a bullshit response and is used by people today so they can score PC and progressive points. People don't think of "race" as meaning seperate species today, and it is obvious to anyone that something like skin colour is a biological difference.

By race isn't biological, what they (usually) mean is there is no "race" gene. Because there isn't. Believe it or not, Africa is the most genetically diverse continent on the planet. Humans associate skin color with a few facial features as a different "race" when there is a lot more to genetics with that. This is because humans are extremely visual creatures, so they rely on their eyes a lot, often to a fault (like in the case of race). A black person isn't any more genetically different to a white person than a ginger person is, but even moreso than that, there are black people who look similar to each other, but are further apart genetically than they are to white people. Looks don't determine how genetically different two people are.

Don't expect stormfaggots on /pol/ to understand this though.

I am trying to wrap my simple mind around it, Anon. Thank you, though.

Can I compare humans to dogs though? There are akibas with red hair, and there are akibas with black hair. They are both akibas, but I guess the correct word for this is that there are... different akiba breeds?

Should we be saying that then with respect to people? Are whites and blacks different "breeds"?

He say's there's no "race" gene, but there are in fact a cluster of genes associated with each race that result in an average occurrence of traits, it's easy as fuck to tell.

Assuming you are not just shitposting, racism and stereotyping is useful.

I never said that, I said there's no race gene, and what we think of as racial differences aren't always the biggest genetic differences between people.

>>61116325
Again, I never said there aren't races by our definition. I said there is no race gene, which is where the "no biological basis" thing comes from. Races are just a collection of traits that we group people in, though, and it's not as concrete as say, families, species, subspecies, in terms of genetic differences.

>>61116496
Dogs were selectively bred by humans, that's why we call them breeds, and not races, and their genetic differences are quite a bit different because of human meddling. But yeah, subspecies originating from different parts of the world, and then as a result having different physical characteristics would be the same thing as different races, more or less.

There are thousands of clusters of genes that correlate with race there is no one "gene" but rather numerous genes that aggregate into an average that results in average differences that can be identified and associated with phenotypes.

By every definition, the different human races are a lot closer together than different subspecies, i.e. homo sapiens idaltu. Subspecies are a lot more distinct than races, but sure, by our flimsy definition of race (I say this because there's no agreed upon definition), more races will be created all of the time, and it's actually very good for humanity that that happens.

For a century or more there have been dreams of "proving" the superiority of this or that "race," class, sex, or other group by demonstrating a relation between brain size and IQ. Earlier studies used measures of head size and have been strongly discreditied on several grounds. For example, it turns out that there is little relationship between head size and brain size. More recent studies, using magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, which is assumed to be more accurate, have suggested some correlation between brain size and IQ. One recent study by American psychologist Lauren Flashman and colleagues suggested a small correlation of around 0.25. Again, though, we have to remember that there are many possible ways in which such a correlation could be brought about, other than a direct causal relationship. For example, that those individuals who have the culturally specific knowledge and self-confidence required for IQ tests are also better nourished, or are taller and heavier, and in turn because they come from better socioeconomic backgrounds. After all, a correlation between body size and brain size of 0.5 and 0.6 has long been known, and there have also been reports of an association between self-confidence and test performance. In addition, we have to remember that individuals with very small brains (less than half the average size) have been identified, and are otherwise perfectly normal. And female brains are about 15 percent smaller than those of males, with no apparent difference in intelligence.

Sure, but there are genes even within some white people that you won't find within other white people. Clusters of genes, even. The reason why we put so much stock into race is because humans are visual, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that as far as I'm concerned, I'm just pointing out what the biology teacher meant.

I don't follow your line of thought. You just said "What other animals have race? None that I know of."

One paper isn't really enough compared to all of the scientists who say otherwise. If it turns out I'm wrong, and there is enough biological basis to separate races into different subspecies, and the scientific community accepts it (and don't tell me they won't accept something so controversial, as if they never have before), then I will gladly concede. I'm just speaking based on what most scientists are saying right now. I don't claim to be a scientist or even a biologist, and if I'm proven wrong then even better, I learn something new.

inb4 but muh liberals, muh jewwws

No credible teacher on this planet is saying that race is not biological. What they are saying however is that race is far too broad, too generalizing, to represent reality accurately enough in biology. There are so many different genes and traits within our DNA that we can trace back to multiple different regions, but individually they don't matter. Why you ask? Because we've got over 20,000 different genes to compare between us! Race is only determined by physical appearances, and can include huge margins of error. Meanwhile, the genes that actually cause problems, the ones that make people act like a stereotypical nigger, can be traced down and removed from the gene pool. Race, for all intents and purposes, does not exist, but nigger genes do.

Nobody wants to own up to blacks carrying the majority of the bad genes, especially in 2016, but ignoring these time wasting politics and allowing our scientists to eventually find a way to turn all future niggers into respectable black men instead is what we should strive for. We need to grow beyond our desire to be like our ancestors, not in the globalized world we live in today. Besides, having pride in where you came from has always been a pointless dick waving contest for people who haven't personally accomplished anything. The only country you should be trying to represent is the one you were raised in.

>>61115961
So, that there supposedly isn't a "gene for skin color" doesn't have anything to do with biology of race. The fact that this seems to be the thing most people are educated on is pathetic commentary on our educational facilities.

Without racial consciousness you cannot have historical consciousness, only a consciousness of chronology.

The biological facts about race is that the Negroid race is the least developed and articulated race of sapiens, having only been in the sapien state for 40,000 years. Whites have been in the sapien state for 240,00 years. To just go along and ignore this is not honorable, it is ignorance, stupidity, and cowardice in its most unadulterated form. To assume that our highly-complex institutions are suitable for all distinct peoples in all times of history is resulting in our own genocide. No matter how long it takes, this is happening.

Without the preservation and solidarity of the ingenuity and munificence of the white race, the human race is sure to vanish. If we'd had exercised some patience in consolidating the inventive powers of the white race, science and eugenics would have solved the problems of race.

Instead, you get what you have now is a prison planet with nihilistic, multicultural cess occupying once beautiful countries where you cannot even speak openly about the most fundamental component of the the human condition, without being kicked out of school, fired from your job, and being shamed, hated, and ostracized by society.

Human genome project has been widely discredited Senpai. I know race isn't a legitimate scientific method of human classification but of course, generally, people of similar geographic locales have similar phenotypes. They have the same genotype, but its phentype that matters and things like epigenetics, which are more similar for two Sub-Saharans than for a Sub-Saharan and a non-African. The Genome project knew none of this, it was like babies first genetic experiment.

The only kind of person who cannot visually differentiate between Saharan groups, Bushpeople, coastal West Africans, Congolese, and Ethiopians, are people who have never even seen the groups.

Of course, being an American, you must imagine that all the people's of Africa are just like our niggers, interbred between the various Western African groups and Europeans in equal parts, mutts containing any random number of features of dozens of groups, and recessive genetics for hundreds more that may be passed to their children.

It's not.

As much as /pol/ cares about race, they don't understand it very well. Race IS perception, but again, /pol/ doesn't know what that means.

It not a denial of the obvious fact that people will be more genetically similar to those more closely related to them, and thus tend to share more traits. It's just a realization that people are bad at matching genotypes based on phenotypes.

Genetic similarity is real, but race doesn't correlate well to it. Appearance and culture plays a huge part in how people identify race. A Native American and Indian may be fairly different in comparison to the range of variation of human genetics, but if you were to swap their dress, behavior, and language, most people would misidentify the "race".

Uhm I don't think so. Look at the clinal zones in africa. You have a lot of different races and you get individuals where the distinction between, say, caucasoid and negroid os blurred. Or even the USA: most of the minorities are very impure racially. There's black guys with blue eyes ffs. With some people you just can't tell if they're mexican or black or white. Generally wherever big groups of races touch each other, admixtures will arise. Another example is syberia. East Russians are partly asian.

Molecular biologist reporting.

First of all...
>*sigh*

Secondly, traits among humans are purely superficial. All dogs no matter what breed are the same species. The same is for humans no matter what size, shape, or skin tone: We are all the same species.

Superficial traits can be overridden: A "Pit Bull" Terrier, for example, can be made to be more docile and friendly, for example, given its environment despite its tendencies.

There is literally NO scientific evidence of racial superiority among humans. Every time I ask someone here to cite direct, scientific evidence, Pro Tip: You can't. Go ahead and try, though, and good luck!

Meanwhile, Intelligence Quotients aren't a SCIENTIFIC or even ACCURATE measure of human aptitude. You can measure precisely the speed of light in a vacuum or the amount of energy it takes to heat one cubic centimeter of water by 1 degree at sea level. You cannot precisely measure human aptitude.

My friend explained it to me like this:
There is no biological basis for race. The distinctions between races are arbitrary...not based on genetics. Obviously, people of different races are genetically different, but where do you draw the line? How different do two groups of people need to be in order to be separate races? There's no answer.

And I can accept that. But if that's the case, then I want to know why people are so fixating on race now a days. Why do SJWs push diversity as such a great thing that we need to study and celebrate? Shouldn't we instead study the ways that all people are the same? I'm getting mixed signals.
>>
>>61125938
>There are objective criteria for race determination without going so far as to examine the DNA. All you need to do is measure some bones.
That's my point. Race is perception. Someone can be a part of one race because they look/behave the part, but their biological factors (genes or bone size) tell you they are related to another set of humans.

...take superficial FEATURES as dogmatic denominators of race. As if an African mating with a Swede could produce anything BUT a human...?

But unfortunately we cling to misguided, romantic notions that have nothing to do with scientific writ. Biology seeks to prove that which can be duplicated under laboratory conditions within a degree of sigma or certainty.

I live in perpetual fear that America is going to shit because Americans simply REFUSE to accept actual science. They are more inspired by mindless, childish memes and will take some misquoted image macro as the gospel. It is no wonder America's lacking education system is the joke of the free world.

>Race, as a social construct, is a group of people who share similar and distinct physical characteristics.[1][2][3][4][5][6] First used to refer to speakers of a common language and then to denote national affiliations, by the 17th century race began to refer to physical (i.e. phenotypical) traits. The term was often used in a general biological taxonomic sense,[7] starting from the 19th century, to denote genetically differentiated human populations defined by phenotype.[8][9]

Your supposed refutation of race as a concept is that 'raced can interbreed and are closely related'. That doesn't make races non-existent. It just means that all races qualify as human.

There is no race in science.

Ethnicities exist. This is commonly accepted. You may try to say 'white as a race doesn't exist!', but there are various ethnicity groups for the people of Europe, and they are recognized as people closely related. These closely related groups are more distantly related to other collections of closely related groups. This is all known and accepted. People fear to call these collections of ethnicities 'races' so they don't seem 'racist', but these collections exist regardless, and it is accepted they exist.

Let me be even more pedantic: Taxonomy is a FEATURE of biology. However, it is not a branch of biology unto itself:

ITT: People who flunked out of high school biology.

Race is a pseudo science that was useful as a concept that arose from hundreds of years ago before we knew what genes were. You might be thinking "There's so many different BIOLOGICAL differences between race, why isn't it scientific?" Because those differences are all borrowed from other branches of science, sociology or biology.

IQ? Sociology. Haplogroups? Genetics. Phenotypic differences? Taxonomy. Race added these concepts to itself to try and justify it's existence. Race has zero predictive use.

Race is a also a pseudo science because it has no strict, empirically testable definition.

Nobody says niggers are a different species unironically. But we are probably different subspecies.

>Superficial traits can be overridden: A "Pit Bull" Terrier, for example, can be made to be more docile and friendly, for example, given its environment despite its tendencies.

What do you mean "superficial traits"? Some traits are innate. Border collies are more intelligent than pit bulls, and pit bulls are more aggressive than border collies. You can maybe train a pit bull to be less aggressive, but don't come to me to cry when it starts chewing your infant son.

>There is literally NO scientific evidence of racial superiority among humans. Every time I ask someone here to cite direct, scientific evidence, Pro Tip: You can't. Go ahead and try, though, and good luck!

Yes, through loose correlation and an inability to identify what a breed specifically is. Sure you can identify a Shetland sheepdog from a doberman but what about one that looks a bit like both and not like any other dog? Then the concept of race cannot be applied to this dog.
Then there's the loose correlation. When people say this breed of dog is smarter, it's chit chat. They're smarter on average. That is to say, the concept of breed is an inaccurate one.

Take a stats class. Correlations that race has, 0.6, 0.5, 0.2, would get laughed out of any hard science. If someone told a chemist that he made a theory that could predict the chemical produced from a chemical reaction half of the time and demanded it be recognised, he would get acid thrown in his face.

Neither do statistics establish causality, which is what science is mostly concerned with. See correlation doesn't imply causation. You have to do controlled experiments to even properly establish correlation.

There is no formal instrument or classification for "race" in pure biology. The term is colloquial at best. I can see where a geneticist might concern his or her self with arbitrary features. Shit, I'm on the molecular/chemical side of the discipline and we are equally concerned with characteristic features. But I see a tree as a tree; because an atom is an atom and a chemical bond is a chemical bond and so on until you get a tree. A tree is plant. I'm not going to argue fern over birch.

But seriously, anyone here who claims to practice biology and by their own volition swears by some equally superfluous political alignment, i.e.; "left" vs "right", please tell me why there are no formally-recognized papers harkening significant findings in race research? And before you start crying "conspiracy", you know good and damn well any Republican OR Democrat would throw money at you if you could conclusively prove race as anything more than just an arbitrary swath of traits.

So let me ask you this: A mixed-race black child is born to a sub-Saharan African and a Swede. The child then lives in Sweden with his biological father. Will that child be more likely to show characteristics of robust resistance to cold? And what if it were the other way around? If the child had stayed in Africa, would it be less inclined to adapt to the colder climates? YOU CANNOT SAY THIS CONCLUSIVELY!!!! It lends no merit to the art.

Race science was completely legitimate until after WW2. The one and only reason it got shunned was because of how the Nazis used it. Do you think that it miraculously became illegitimate over night and for no reason? No. It got immediately lumped into the category of Nazi Science by the Frankfurt School proponents and thus became a pariah.

Also, Richard Lewontin completely discredited the entire "race is a social construct" by making an ass of himself in the 70's. He's a tenured professor from Harvard. Still didn't change the fact the he was completely wrong and tried to politicize science because he was an outspoken and self-described Marxist.

These are only necessary conditions for an ideal organism. With the capabilities that humans have, their are other desirable traits especially when their is competition between these population groups that threatens their survival and reproduction. Also, resistance to disease is only an instance of survival which is the more fundamental necessity of an organism. Just as fertility is an instance of reproduction, it is not sufficient for reproduction, as that requires sex drive, and survival, etc...

Race is a human construct and you're daft to believe otherwise.
It's a word made by humans because they saw there are vast differences between people of different ethnicity.
So yeah, it is a social construct.
But it's based on real observations, so there is some (if not a lot) of truth in some racial (cultural) stereotypes.
But instead of taking this into account, the establishment chooses to basically lie to people that every culture follows the same ethics, morals, basic human rights as the "west" does.
