Borders folk may descend from Africans from Hadrian\'s Wall
#17
I can't believe that anyone still wants to divide us humans into different biological races.<br>
Man (<em>Homo sapiens sapiens</em>) <strong>cannot</strong> be divided into races in the biological sense of that word! Biologically it is impossible to discern races simply because the biologically difference between black-white.../negroid-caucasian-mongolian... or however you want to name it, is too insignificant to be the basis of a division into races. Biologically the differences between man and woman for instance are far more significant.<br>
For humans the biological sciences don't make a division into races (genetically there is no reason or cause to do so)!<br>
<br>
Of course visually there are obvious differences, but it's no just (biological) basis for a division into races. 'Race' should only be used in the correct biological way, but unfortunately it still gets this strange connotation as if biology backs up a 'natural' division of mankind into several distinct groups almost as if they were different species.<br>
<br>
I'm very glad that there is variation in our species, but just keep it at that: variation, not races.<br>
