Is race really a social construct? How can humanity be distributed

>>2467242
Because some Memers supressed knowledge about the DNA

>>2467242
Firstly you should learn basic science retard, a species is considered a new species when members of 2 species can no longer create viable offspring. That's it. Back to >>>/pol/

>>2467256
Bonobos and chimps can crossbreed (they just don't come into contact with one another in the wild).

>>2467242
>Is race really a social construct
Of course, unless you want to show me some natural 100m dashes

Why do people keep posting these /pol/ threads on /his/. Fuck off.

>>2467275
Seems like anthropology to me. Isn't this board for anthropology?

>>2467262
But are their childs able to procreate?

"Race is a social construct" doesn't mean that there are no genetic differences between various groups of people. It means you can't sort them into neat categories like "white", "black", etc. That's literally it. It's a sociological phrase, not a scientific one.

may be a stupid question but do mix raced kids always come out 50/50? Mostly speaking in the context of a dna test

A fast and loose way to tell is if things can breed, and create fertile offspring.

>>2467310

In the most simple terms it's because each parent puts DNA into gametes and the gametes combine. When you look into it, it's never this clean though. It's never an actual "mixing" as it is which genes are expressed.

If you're actually serious:

>Is race really a social construct?
Yes, and it's pretty obvious this is the case. Just look at how different various cultures define separate races.

>How can humanity be distributed all over and the world and isolated for thousands of years
That had less of an effect than you think. Humans are one of the least genetically diverse animals on the planet. Any two given members of pretty much any other species on the planet will be more different than any two people; individual fruit flies differ more than humans do from every other ape genetically. Besides a few physical traits, there's pretty much no difference between human groups, and no logical argument about why they should be considered biologically distinct.

>>2467336
Hmm this seems wrong, if that were the case bonobos and chimps should be considered the same species then.

>>2467308

The genetic differences between various groups of people vary as much inside of those same groups as they do between the groups, however.

>>2467242
Race is a social construct the same way that gender is a social construct.

Did you even read what he wrote?

>>2467357

NTG, but being able to have kids doesn't make them the same species. The male offspring need to be fertile, which chimp/bonobo hybrids are not.

>>2467371
Yeah he still didn't answer the central question in the op, just rattled off the same tired propaganda about the differences between the races being superficial and the majority of genetic diversity being in Africa. Obfuscation basically, doesn't answer the question.

>>2467379
But gene mapping of bonobos and chimps indicates hybridization similar to sapiens and Neanderthal. Hybridization has been observed in captivity but nothing has been said whether the offspring are sterile. Care to share a citation?

Chimps have far more genetic diversity than humans.

>>2467367

Technically yes. They're both a spectrum without any solid lines.

Even chimps and gorillas are prone to hybridization:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bili_ape

Coyotes and wolves mate in the wild as well and produce non sterile offspring as well

Species isn't as cut and dry as you think either, bonobos and chimps are basically different races of the species

I thought Bonobos and Chimps were already considered the same species.

If Neanderthals and Humans could create viable offspring why are they considered separate?

>>2467439
Recent research suggests that pregnancies of neanderthal and sapiens were very difficult, I can't remember if was only male Neanderthals with female sapiens or the other way around.

>>2467388

Neanderthal males and human females were not able to make babies, because of their Y chromosome. My old biology professor would say that we are Homo Sapiens Sapiens while neanderthals were Homo sapiens Neanderthalensis. Anyways, most hybrids are completely infertile.

>>2467242
The this g is that humans don't really adapt like other animals do. A lot of our adaptation comes from the mind. Humans adapt a lot like a general AI; We have a capacity to solve multiple probles. Other animals adapt similar to specific AI; they're really good in this one thing, but lack flexible adaptability. This is why human groups that were separate for millions of years are still so similar. Humans evolve through culture primarily, not through biology.

There is a difference between sub-species, species and race, retard.

explain please
