Last I checked your expert Dawkins was neither a geneticist, anthropologist or even biophysicist - all he is is an evolutionary biologist, and behaviourist. So you can't use him as an expert in other fields that he has an opinion on.
As I said, I asked why and you explained. I was a little curious to see if people were still trying to pedal this discredited idea.
There are no distinct human races, all human beings belong to the same race.
You couldn't answer any of my questions which should be easy if your claims were true.
1. How many distinct human races are there, and what are they?
2. Show me geneticists who say they can determine what a person's distinct race is from their DNA?
My claims addressed your own and my argument should stand or fall on its own merits.
You are saying because the variation of the human genetic code of 85% of the human population can exist within (and be expressed by) 15% that race doesn't exist.
I am saying the expression is correlated, a black woman can have a white baby. Million to one shot, but it can happen.
A white woman ifs far more likely to have a white baby.
You could racially stereotype someone based on appearance and make racial assertions of their gene expressions, with a trained eye, and be pretty accurate.
An Africa looking fellow would be far more likely to be lactose intolerant, have sickle cell anaemia and so on......... enough.
I don't care that your wrong, I truly don't.
