  • We can argue race and ethnicity forever. But the very fact that on this earth, any man who is not sterile can procreate with any fertile woman, regardless of their "race" or ethnicity, means we are one human race. Perhaps if we kept this in mind that among other progressive insights, it might lead to less exploitation, misery, war, death and destruction on this earth. But of course, and unfortunately empire is an equal opportunity exploiter and killer. the 99% must finally take the lead.

  • @emotionalinvalid

    I think race can be distinguished by how certain groups of humans evolve into characteristics suitable for their respective environments. Try to look into why most eskimos are short and fat; it's an advantageous trait to conserve energy in cold climates

  • @reveal1914 Actually coroners do not have objective tools for defining "race", the give their own opinion which is basically artifically dividing the continuous human variation into subjective discontinuous groups. "race" cannot be biologically, objectively and genetically defined without artificially and subjectively dividing the human species.

  • every one is family so if your raciest your being raceist to your family and you hate your ancester

  • Clearly, there are genes that account for the superficial differences between so-called races, and eventually we'll likely figure out which genes account for those differences, but that will never change the fact that we are all one race.

  • @lashandar You're redefining the word race to be inclusive. We're all the same species, we're all not the same race. Race basically means geographic subspecies.

  • @TheFaid We're all the same species....race basically means geographic subspecies? What? Name subspecies of Homo sapien sapien.

  • @reveal1914 ..Human race/ sub species are DEFINED by whom?"Biological reality"? WHAT DETERMINES REALITY?...It's sad when solely following gurus research. Vitality is lost. Creative energy is lost. You're lost...Of course there's obvious differences. According to my dictionary, different doesn't mean better

  • @reveal1914 ..."This proves beyond doubt that race is biologically/ scientifically quantifiable"? That's the view YOU choose to believe. There's other research refuting YOUR belief by equally if not more qualified scientists. A bone is a bone "and if they are different" Different surely doesn't mean better nor worse.To say one is less than human is a merciless subterfuge...The only tangible scientific discovery these days is to force people to rethink their beliefs

  • Race exists. Race denialism = creationism.

  • The scientist TITLE is a great persuader for the weak minded. Science has become a bottomless pit of perception, merciless to fallacy in logic...Guru followers lose their own vitality 

  • Africans have lower IQs, athletic prowess and high crime rates.

    Asians have higher IQs, but they are short and aren't very athletic.

    White Europeans have higher IQs, but they are very athletic and very beautiful. They are the most diverse people. Just look at the diversity of hair and eye color.

    Therefore, race exists. Differences should be celebrated. Sameness would suck. Not all people are created equal. To ignore these differences would absolutely kill genetic diversity.

  • @phazon100 ..Lower IQ ? been debunked already, High crime rates ? Try getting off the street level if you're going to mention crime. Criminality has to be defined...Asian are athletic when it comes to martial arts. You seem to limit athleticism to running and jumping...I'd hate to burst your bubble but ALL whites aren't that great looking...Your entire comment indirectly refutes race and intelligence. Intelligence is more than a pencil and paper formatted test

  • @gmccall22 I think he might had been trolling

    

  • @fperezz ..Yeah, seems like a troll to me

  • @phazon100 full retard

  • What have blacks contributed to humanity?/ Answer: zip, nada, nothing.

    Whites are pretty much the reason why the world is what it is. They have discovered natural laws, derived mathematical formulas and invented a lot of other stuff. In fact, the smartest people of all time were/are white, mostly European.

  • @phazon100

    everything, we all started in africa. algerbra is actually from arabia, natural laws were 'discovered' by egyptians and arabs and repeated by greeks. european domination is based on war, greed and exploitation. Most european 'discoveries' were lies and hi-jacked from other races, even the printing press was first used by the Chinese. I am a white african, and i find your argument old, stale and unappealing.

  • @phazon100 1) Define Black? 2) Define White? 3) Explain why you have artifically grouped people in discontinuous groups when humans show continuous genetic variation?

    4) What have you personally invented or contributed to society?

    p.s. Everyones great great great great great great great great great great great great X 50 grandparents were African, why do you insult your ancestors?

    

  • @TheDisproof I dont get the white and black thing either. Is he referring to albino blacks and whites??

  • Hitchcock shows his bias throughout his lecture making facile sweeping assumptions and acting almost like a Christian evangalist in his desire to disprove races and environmental selective pressures. I expected to hear something more concrete to disprove biological race but the only point he made is that races are not 100% pure and I already knew that. It is easy to disprove race when they define it in an impossible way. It is sad how our premier universities have been hijacked by naked ideology

  • @kaunas88

    Hitchcock isn't talking here its Richard Lewontin, if you don't even understand that, then how can you understand the complex content of the video?! stop being a douche and pay attention :-P

  • The idea that race does not exist biologically is so absurd that only an intellectual would believe it. The anti-race people use a strawman argument in all of this. They define race in a way that no serious person does: as binarily distinct subgroups of humans with no overlap or fuzzy borders. Races are like dialects with lots in common and fuzzy borders, but distinct dialects and races still exist. This shows how ideologues are not intellectually honest just to try and win debates.

  • This is a perfect example of what happens when leftists go into scientific fields. Their political ideology trumps reality. People who deny race as a "valid scientific concept" are liars and politically motivated charlatans. They misuse the data to mislead others. That is the absolute lowest of the low in terms of vile behavior in a scientist. These people are just as evil as the Nazi racial purity scientists of WW2.

  • @vbritsi You said that,"race is a valid scientific concept". Define race and tell me how many exist. I will await your response.

  • There are no "races", just 7 billion genetically unique individuals. Watch- a scientific test of "race".

  • @TheDisproof there is race,you can call it whatever you want,human peoples envolved differently and are unique to eachother,are we all monkeys as well just because we have a common ancestral?is there a dog race??that's ridiculous,dogs have differences and we call them race to make that distinction,humans have also different races,only blind people can't see them.

  • @TheDisproof "7 billion genetically unique individuals on the planet" That comment can not be understood by those that need "race" to exist so that they can take credit for efforts that are not their own. They fail to understand that we are all different in some way or another, so to place us in so called race groups does not make sense. Who decides what differences matter and which do not? Thanks for post such a well thought out comment.

  • @123bigr A pleasure :)

    It is often those who have gained most from falsely believing that biological or genetic races exist that are least willing to give it up.

  • @hilletehnoob Ok again tell what are the diferent types of races. Is it just black and white. Or Are there other. Is being hispanic a race. Just in case people from latin american have just as diverse background from people in north America. So what are these races Asian white black are there more, and how do you defined them. BTW diferent dialects means diferent ethnicty not races biologicaly speaking

  • But there are Phenotypes and ethnicies.......

  • @JSLegoMaster We have different blood types as well as fingerprints, so what is your point? Differences do not create racial groups. Why is it so difficult for you to understand that?

  • We have different skulls and faces for example, different body types btw. We have different Genetic groups, fact is also that we have peoples, native people and fact is people look different depending where they come from if you cant realise that you havent been outside your town I guess.

    I dont think you know what a Phenotyoe is, ethnicies is used by the US Census Bureau and Police, Millitary btw its a official term refering to the thing we used to call "Races" some decinies before.

  • @JSLegoMaster Actually there are 7 billion different individuals all of which have unique DNA sequences.

  • Yes but DNA is something different than a Hapoplgroup (go check it out it will surprise you) and phentypes you clearly dont know those terms go and educate yourself before you think you can make a point on something you dont have a clue about.

  • Here you go check out those articles (I cant post a direct link here unfortanley)

    Wikipedia: Haplogroup

    Wikipedia Ethnic_group

    wikipedia: Human_genetics

    after this you will be aware that we are different dude where we are from and that people have different physical characteristics which may be reprenstative for a certain population or even halpologroup/ethincy

  • And he is saying the exacly same point as me in 09:40 listen closley =P

  • @JSLegoMaster Everyone has a unique phenotype. Humans exist along a continuous range of variation. The Nazi's head of "racial science" was asked by someone for a typical specimen for a Aryan skull (he had 20,000 European skulls in his collection), yet he couldn't provide even one that showed "typical features". The reason being that there are no biological or genetic "races/subspecies/ethnicities/­whatever word you want to use" in humans. Gene flow never ceased.

  • Comment removed

  • The whole race stuff is a joke, If you chance the term from Race to people its all okay People are ust afraid to be called racist thats all but we can see and even a baby can see the difference between a scandinavian and a typical russian for example even trough both live on same continenet and both belong to the white ethnic group or people as you may call it.

    "We are all the same" well no we arent look at a map of the skull form or body facial form for example and you can see we are not same

  • @JSLegoMaster You are still missing the point. Who said we are all the same? My position is that we are all different in some way, therefore any attempt at racial grouping will be invalid. What if I made all people with brown eyes a race or all people with o negative blood? You said,"a baby can see the difference". I agree with that, but different does not mean "race". Is the dwarf child of tall parents a different race? U R confused

  • Ur confused, no eye color is a physical Characteristic, it can not be said all brown eyed are a race BUt you can say that brown eyes is most common in all countries beside West/central and northern europe and so you can well say "Generaly africans have brown eyes".

    For example the I1a gene is presented 50% in sweden, 40% in norvay, 30% in finnland, iceland and germany and less than 10% in russia and other europe. So the I1a gene represents the nordic or northern european ethnicy.

  • Google this:

    European Y-DNA haplogroups frenqucies by country - Eurpedia

  • @JSLegoMaster I googled the European y-dna you asked me to, now what? The differences you see in humanity are the result of mutations. Mutations can take place over long periods of time or within one generation. Who decides what mutations create races? Why do some differences matter and others do not? Race as used by police is a social construct, but that does not make it scientifically valid.Hitler had racial concept that was used, but that did not make it valid. U have a lot to learn

  • Well Race biology used by the nazis was about that the nordids would be superior to anyother and of course was related to the idea that all "untermenschen" should be exterminated.

    I dont think any race is superior to anyotherce, thats of course bullshit. But then again fact is there are peoples in europe which you may call races, ethnicies, haplogroups or whatever you want, it all comes down to the fact that people look different on this planet depenting on where they live like it or not

  • @JSLegoMaster Yes there are differences but that is because there are 7 billion genetically unique individuals, not because there are actual "groups/ethnicities/races". Variation is continuous, not discontinuous.

  • @TheDisproof "Variation is continuous, not discontinuous."

    Continuous - but with such a large genetic differences among main races over a short geographical distance that even a small kid can recognize them.

  • Ah really -_- Dude you have no idea about the race biology in the 20th century belive me, no idea.

    I have studied that dark part of europe's history very much and of course everyone thinks nazi german were the leading ones in race biology but no the countries who were most active were actually The more neutral ones like Norvay, Sweden and Switzerland dont tell me i have a lot to learn go tell me something about norvegain race biology then, belive me you wont find it easy when you google it =P

  • @JSLegoMaster I suggest you read a book by Marek Kohn called the race gallery. It gives a very comprehensive history of "race" and its subjectivity.

  • Maybe, and i suggest you to simple read the link i sent oyu again, we have about 8 main haplogroups in europe. And there are differences in country to country like it or not. For example finnland is very homgenous with almost 60% of the populatino having the N1c1, Wales to, it has 81% R1a, while finnland only has 3.5 R1a and Wales has less than 1% N1c1.

    Out of this example you should understand that people are diferent in average depending where they come from

  • Personal attacks are the lowest form of argumenting btw.

    Btw. who was Hitler's leading Racebioloist and what were his products in that time lets see if you have a clue about what your talking about

  • @JSLegoMaster What personal attack are you talking about? I do not know who his biologist was, but I am sure it can be googled in a flash. What does that have to do with my earlier comment? I simply said that hitler had a race concept that was used and believed, but that did not make it valid. Knowing or not knowing his biologist would not change the point of my comment.

  • Bertil Lundmann messured over 110000 skulls by minself in his life in sweden, his results were compared to those of other (physical anthropologists) - not racebiologists! in europe and it came out very clear, the scandinavians, british people have in average longer skulls, the eastern and middle european have round, short skulls and broader faces in average. Also the body length differeneces in cerntral europe to north aouth.

    That is a fact

  • @JSLegoMaster How does your last comment support the "master race" concept of hitler? I am starting to think that you are unable to process what I am saying. I am speaking as plainly as possible. Are you suggesting that scandinavians are a different "race" than the short skull middle European?

  • @JSLegoMaster The only fact seems to be that he created an artificial classification system that subjectively places people in discontinuous groups when in fact humans show continuous variation with no distinct boundaries. Any boundary he created such as Eastern/Middle European are impossible to classify without being artificial. There are tall people in many locations, there are short people in many locations but saying where tall ends and short starts is subjective.

  • You just count the average, and belive me in average you can see much difference thats a fact i dont say that 100% of switzrland for exampe is round and broad, no but about 70% are in fact in in sweden only around 20% while the rest is midle or long.

  • @JSLegoMaster You do realise you are describing continuous variation, not discontinuous groups?

    please define the exact average "roundness/broadness of a swiss person"?

    You might as well define peoples by shoe size?!

  • Dude go and read the article again or the tabel the numbers are obious i dont see any sense in arguing about facts with you anymore.

    The proportions of the body especially head, uhm i dont know about shoes btw this is physical anthropology and even parctisised today

  • @JSLegoMaster Any creation of a discontinuous grouping from a continuous range of variation is artificial in the same way that where "short" or "tall" starts is entirely subjective.

  • @TheDisproof "Any creation of a discontinuous grouping from a continuous range of variation is artificial"

    It is not artifical, because this "continuous variation" in most cases results from a recent post-glacial gene flow, and the boundaries among main racial groups are not difficult to recognize even for a small kid - as I stated below.

  • @TheDisproof Anybody, who comes with arguments like you should spend the next 10 years studying archeology, anthropology, history, linguistics and genetics, because without filling the gaps in your knowledge, you will parrot these childish rhymes until the end of your life.

  • @centrum99 Ad hominem?

    "The distribution of genetic variants within and among human populations are impossible to describe succinctly because of the difficulty of defining a "population," the clinal nature of variation, and heterogeneity across the genome" (Long and Kittles 2003). The human genome project found no evidence whatsoever for the biological or genetic existence of "races". Feel free to publish your own paper that disagrees with the human genome project?!

  • @TheDisproof The anti-racial mythmakers have many difficulties. Especially they suffer from the difficulty to collect up-to-date information and to separate ideology from science.

  • @centrum99 Still denying the findings of the human genome project are we? You sound rather like those people who still think the Earth is 8,000 years old despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

  • @TheDisproof Pitiful fool. You have no idea about population genetics. Races don't exist in most scientific papers, that's true, but "population clusters", "continental groups" and other crypto-terms do. Most scientists are simply hypocrites, who are afraid of their career.

  • @centrum99 ad hominem?

  • @TheDisproof

    Race is a proven scientific concept. END OF DEBATE.

  • @omegapoint777 Race does exisit its called the human race for us human. I dont know what species youre from but iam guessing youre human too. Any other distinction is arbitrary and caprichos. Saying theres a white race and a black race is as ridicules as saying theres a tall race and a short race. When scientist around the world objectively determine a race, then we can have that conversation

  • @TheDisproof Well said!

  • @JSLegoMaster There are billions of haplogroups combinations so by suggesting that haplogroups can define a specific "group" is illogical, they can only help define an individual.

  • JonDeth sure is one verbose ignorant hateful piece of work, isn't he?

  • Maldek, Mars, Earth ... Green, Red, Yellow, Black, White.

  • For the ignorant followers of this scientific gospel or more simply, the black supremacists and they're naive, media brainwashed slaves, research genetic engineering through particle acceleration.

    This is where DNA is accelerated and bombarded into a host to fuse with this foreign genetic material in the nuclei which it will now also pass on.

    Guess what?

    Nature produces this as well. A violent electrical storm can produce genetic bombardment and this is how we got the yellow apple.

  • @JonDeth education come from the latin educare which means to rear,I was reared at a very early age,since then i have become enlightened,I have gained knowledge through study,cellular bombardment would not take away from the fact that homo sapein sapeins come from the continent of africa,why do you assume that this means that blacks are supreme,it doesnt it just proves that we all are a type of african!!that is about it,you need to do some soul searching and try to understand your anger

  • Pure Eugenics here folks.

    What happens as a result of this?

    Either naive and guilt abused young white people submit to blacks or, they fight with them over the issue.

    So the elite class now has one group submissive to the other or in conflict rather than challenging THEM. The elites do not believe this crap nor do they care, they simply want to spread around propaganda that keeps us in conflict with the other PASSENGERS.

    That way they never face mutiny.

    Richard Lewontin is pure scum!

  • @JonDeth I agree with you JonDeth Pure Eugenics. just check out 44:48 . he does not even knows what he is talking about , he is just a racis scientist trying to justify his racism

  • @facejointdotcom I am sure their are millions of others that agree with him as well,that doesnt change the fact that race is an artificial concept and it has no bearing in science

  • @facejointdotcom I noticed this stick in the wheel too along with many others. Admixture is claiming that through DNA, we can find the mixing of continental ancestry but it's actually incredibly difficult to prove. So if we are to accept admixture genealogy, we must accept that RACE exists. Suddenly everyone's argument of black supremacy as the source of all humans and technology goes out the window.

    The different races are likely a result of cellular bombardment, it's nature's gene splicing.

  • Why do I say Eugenics?

    Because this logic gets us to let our guards down!

    Now we're all equal, but only within our minds not the world. Then when the next racial conflict takes place, you see white Americans turn into doormats who are evil racist and out to destroy everyone.

    Then the white people trying to prove we're all equal, bend over backwards tying their balls in a not to please a racist fringe group that is nothing more than the boy crying wolf.

    This is Eugenics!

  • @JonDeth: Yes, a very wise analysis. Preaching "equality" to one group will extinguish that group (if they are stupid enough to believe it).

  • @mikemikev it's this propaganda that has millions of white American kids running around trying to prove they're a black kid born in the ghetto.

    It has quite effectively turned much of the middle class into the poverty class due to those types as well as their polar opposites, those that took on way too much debt trying to advance a class.

    Hence the mortgage crisis.

  • @JonDeth Right. Media promotion of minorities inferior, from our POV, culture (which has a genetic component) , which we pretend is "equal". Cultural relativistic nonsense.

    Also we're all getting dragged down to the lowest level by a constant transfer of wealth to the incompetent/irresponsible, while we pretend that we're "equal". I wonder why we can't learn from history that Marxism = Failed State. Sometimes I think external enemies know this and are promoting it in a deliberate attack.

  • @mikemikev considering that white people at this point literally have to buy culture from television, radio and the mall, we're the true slave race in America. The establishment allows us to THINK we're white when generally, white Americans are multicultural and have native American Indian ancestry.

    Next time "the black community" goes on a smear campaign, I'd like to see their reaction to that truth. We're what happened to the Indians which is why we tend to be very peaceful and generous.

  • @JonDeth Hmm, not so sure most whites in US have significant native American ancestry.

  • @mikemikev I know this to be very true.

    In white middle class society, it's the most common bond we all tend to share. Within my own social crowd, I can remember nearly every single person having American Indian heritage and everyone was always very proud of this fact. That's dozens upon dozens of people.

    It's also the bond that generally had us all flocking together while the non native bearing wealthy Catholics generally viewed us as beneath them.

    So believe me, it's quite common.

  • @JonDeth lol up to 90 mil whites also have african genes

  • @richbullva prove it, I guarantee you can't.

    American Indian ancestry however is documented with the government's of both the USA and Canada due to marriage licenses.

    I'm talking within the last couple centuries, your claim is irrelevant.

  • @JonDeth google Mark d shiver who says that more than 50mil whites have african dna,

  • @richbullva so what, hundreds of millions of people say there is a man in the sky that made humans, it's nothing but a claim with no evidence no different than what Mark D Shriver claims.

    He can't actually prove it, simply makes the assumption because of mitochondrial DNA connecting a common biology, not genealogy.

    You made the comment in an attempt to completely disregard my heritage as though it was meaningless. Most black people demand all heritages be linked to theirs, it's propaganda.

  • @JonDeth actually he can prove it the same way whites prove indian admixture,what did you read his site,I could care less how many whites have black blood,i just think its funny that they always tell us that we are so mixed with them when it goes both ways thousands of blacks passed for whites and went on to breed with whites for generations,I made the comment to make a point not to hurt your feelings,If you have blackfoot in you,you are shaming them for sure speaking as though you are whtie lol

  • @richbullva no actually he can't prove anything. He can merely claim it as a fact and rely on naive, uneducated people conditioned by the media like yourself to believe it. It's not fact, it's scientific gospel.

    They can not find the missing link for a very good reason, it doesn't exist. The same way people like him claim life started is the same way one species would beget another. Genetic bombardment or, particle acceleration caused by nature which occurs. That's fact.

    This is theory.

  • @JonDeth the genetic diversity of the african is not a theory it is proof beyond doubt of his longevity and proof of his being the prototype,never did I make a claim of it being evidence of his superiority! In which of my comments did I in any way insinuate that blacks were superior to whites?All i stated was factual information,this guy talkin,didnt influence my thinking one bit however it there were some interesting things that he spoke of,uneducated lol,surely I am not merely educated!LOL

  • @richbullva he claims, not proves.

    Believe it or not, we're not all the same and these scumbags are trying to brainwash us, not unite us. It's about one group having an admittance of of origin to another or, in conflict over it. As long as they can create a subservience or a conflict, they have fulfilled their agenda.

    They want us believing what they tell us or fighting about what they tell us with EACH OTHER, not them.

    You're proof it works because you've accepted their claim as fact.

  • @JonDeth so this science is trying to brainwash us?we are the same grasshopper,I havent excepted anything from them i have been believing in the human race my entire life,my mother schooled me and it makes sense,that is the reason that africans are far more genetically diverse than other socalled racial groups,we all come from them, you are shaming your blackfoot ancestors,I know my Chickohominy ancestorts are proud of me I rep for them all the time,,you are a pretty sad dude man,blacks dont

  • @richbullva I agree with JonDeth.

  • @richbullva that claim is pure racism. All the evidence when looked at from an educated, unbiased perspective shows the exact opposite yet you will throw a tantrum kicking and screaming saying that well these people said so and that makes you right. It's nonsense. When one makes an intelligent argument, it's not based on hearsay.

    You're basing everything on hearsay, I am not.

    Admixture actually proves race does exists, that's the irony to your argument. It shows the crossing of the races.

  • @richbullva what, no snide racist retort to again completely disregard my ancestry?

    I find what you said very typical of blacks in this country and offensive.

  • @JonDeth i dont care how you feel champ i sent it to your page for some reason i cant leave a remark on here

  • @JonDeth disregard,not hardly,I am from central va,my grandmothers people are Chickahominy you know the same as Powhatan and Pocahontas,I point out facts young man,I hope my last comment went through and I left it on your page anyway 

  • @richbullva then what was it?

    I view it as a typical attitude of black Americans where we are white, you invented white people and that's the proof. No other heritage matters but yours, it's propaganda not fact.

    I have 2 full blooded American Indian Blackfoot Great Grandmothers in my family tree as well as ties to other tribes. This is very common with middle class "white" people but "the black community" pays us no respect as natives.

  • He's preaching Eugenics.

    He's perpetuating the lie of equality so mentally, we believe we are all the same but the reality is, the world has never worked that way, does not work that way now and may never work that way.

    The fact is, if your skin is dark, your eyes are slanted, your hair is blond etc, that's defined by genetics you have and someone defined as being of another race does not. Obviously there WERE races but we've mixed so heavily that the differences are becoming negligible.

  • From Long & Kittles (2003), (FST is within/between group variation): "For example, when the analysis includes only humans, FST = 0.119, but adding the chimpanzees increases it only a little, FST = 0.183."

  • @ILUVJEZUZ94 why was my comment removed did I say something wrong.

  • Lewontin's analysis seems fair. He neither denies the existence of human bio-diversity nor overemphasizes the impact of it.

    I'd like to ask him this:

    "Though humans are overwhelmingly genetically similar, sometimes those minor differences seem to carry significant implications, e.g., the differences in the cognitive abilities of East Asians vs. black Africans. Can some of our relatively minor differences thus be considered critical to the potential progress of certain 'race' groups?"

  • Lewontin is a Marxist who mis-represents science to create an illusion of equality. The fact is that the significance of racial genetic differences is still unproven. Comparing DNA variation "within and between groups" proves nothing, especially since the function of most of the genome is unknown. Small genetic differences can have big effects on organisms. Incidentally, there's more variation within chimps and humans than between them, it's a meaningless comparison.

  • @mikemikev Being a marxist has little to do with Biology. Lewontin speaks objectively as a great and unbiased scientist, regardless of his political views.

  • @Neueregel If the fundamental assumption of Marxism is that we all have the same potential, and any wealth differences are due to "oppression", I'd say the widely held position in biology that there is a lot of variation in brain power, within and between races, has a lot to do with it, namely it contradicts it. This is what Lewontin seeks to obscure.

  • @mikemikev Everything he saying is based of experiementation. If u want to disprove his theory do some expriementation yourself and see what u come up with.

  • @ILUVJEZUZ94 No, my point is that what he says is not based on experimentation (note the spelling). His conclusion (that genetic variation in races precludes significant phenotypic variation) does not follow from the data (a naive analysis of genes for "blood groups" and other random relatively unimportant traits). Is there racial variation in brain development genes? Lewontin doesn't know, and neither do you.

  • @mikemikev

    You say "there's more variation within chimps and humans than between them." This is patently false. Humans are, on average, about 95-98.5% genetically similar to chimps (depending on whether "indels" are counted), while similarity between humans is 99.5%-99.9% (depending on whether "copy-number variation" is included).

    Researchers like John H. Relethford and Guido Barbujani also find that variation between races is well below 20% of human genetic variation.

  • @tifforo1 Hmm, I had to think about this, but I'm pretty sure the similarity and difference is not the same as the variation. The similarity includes all allele variations in common, and thus a 95% similarity is very compatible with most variation being within groups. The whole "within/between" is essentially meaningless, it's an apples and oranges comparison, made worse by not considering correlations or effects.

  • is he a prfessor?

  • @pillsburydoughboy47 Without fear, you can't have courage. To be courageous, you must face your fears. If you don't have fear, how can you be courageous?

  • if the ideology behind natural selection, and development of different regional peoples, is not wholey understood, you certainly cannot assume that someone of asian descent will be as capable as someone of african descent in a given circumstance.

    if there are extermal differences, these differences will likely correlate with other internal differences, such as in cognitive aptness, where for whatever reasoning, genes that predispose this trait, will exist in this isolated population.

  • FAR FROM THE TRUTH,WHY IS THERE DIFFERENT BLOOD TYPES,AND A WHOLE LIST OF VARYING TRAITS.I'M NOT SPEAKING OUT OF EMOTION I AM SPEAKING FACTS,YOU HAVE HYBRIDS IN EVERYTHING.THEY ARE FLAWED IN NATURE.INVESTIGATE PLEASE,NO EMOTIONS.

  • Is his hair real?

  • aside from a rather interesting lecture, for and hour and ten minutes, his fly was open.

  • is racism natural?

  • @DaMostEnigmatic as with all animals,we are very racist,lions be they felines do not mix with tigers,felines.look at all animals.they do not breed outside of their species not out of hate,.it's just that it kills the species.it throughs off nature by introducing sumthing new to the eco system.and puts it out of balance.just think for a sec the powers that be practice eugenics look it up that how they maintain power.the bible is all about race a chosen people a particular bloodline

  • @MrDAMUZI the thing is socalled races are not like lions and tigers they are all human race is a made up concept,if one of one socalled race breed withanother that is so unlike your example,homo sapein is one species,

  • @MrDAMUZI Lions and tigers are different species, belonging to a different FAMILY (felidae). By comparison humans and gorillas belong to the same family (hominidae). Anyway lions and tigers CAN mate and produce offspring (sometimes even fertile). Racism has nothing to with "race" and a lot to do with our social mechanics and territoriality. Obsessions with blood purity brought nothing but deformity and sickness in European royalty.

  • @DonVoghano Lions and Tiger belong to the same family but will only mate if condition to do so. They would most likely kill each other in the wild, naturally because interbredding amongst different species could cause potential problems. Humans, no matter what "race" will and can mate with each other without conditioning and will not have problems but will refuse to do so if conditioned. Humans are a backwards species XD.

  • @DonVoghano Never mind my reply, I misread when you said Lions and tigers are different.....FAMILY(felidae).

  • @DaMostEnigmatic Yes, it's natural but doesn't mean it's a good thing. Humans discriminate against "foreigners" and those who look different amongst the common folk.

  • Racism will never die because it is natural it comes from the most common sense understanding. Its natural because its built into our genetics to understand.

  • racism is not natural ask the Greeks they didnt find any more affinity towards northern Europeans than they did Ethiopians racism is fairly new

  • @richbullva Exactly. Before the 14th century the whole idea of separate races was unheard of.

  • Comment removed

  • the highest performance possible in any sort of conflict, is the ability to remain CALM. This planet's greatest warriors were, therefore, indeed the native americans;

    1) full blooded, paternal lineage native americans, are calm like east asians.

    2) they tend to be athletic, and often just as big, as black folks.

    3) they have an incredible lung capacity

    4) extremely dense muscle.

    through and through, they're the perfect warriors.

  • you wouldn't think so, but to pilot a jet aircraft, you NEED to be in shape, in very good shape in fact. The fastest reflexes in the military, do not belong to special forces operatives, but to fighter pilots.

    If you can beat a fighter pilot at video games, that's a bit scary....

  • ironically enough, the east asian styles so looked down on owing to racist arrogance, actually have it right;

    everyone says Kung Fu "doesn't work," despite the fact that fighter pilots, have a higher than normal oxygen intake within their cockpits. Why is that? More oxygen, without taking it to the level of toxicity, means better concentration, and focus. The reason fighter pilots need to be fit, is because that way they metabolize oxygen better.

  • absolute relaxation, combined with an impecably conditioned body, are the only things that can give the highest possible performance in self defense. When applied to modern war, even fighter pilots need to be absolutely relaxed in order to focus, and why they need oxygen masks. The reason fighter pilots need a higher than normal oxygen intake, is rooted in that at such high speeds they need better reflexes, and better reflexes are only possible with higher oxygen, which calms the nerves.

  • I am going to go grab an AK - 47, some hand grenades, and a few molotovs. I will then go burn down a house, kill all the men, and all the children, but keep only the pretty women so I can rape them repeatedly. I will then scream "praise the lord" at the top of my longs, and declare Judaism the household religion.

    Because apparently its genetic you know.

  • @meloveanna scientist have no idea the function of such a gene sir,I guess gay genes exist too huh its total bullshit where was the warrior gene when blacks were conquered

  • what genes are that?

  • @KimKimble it's called MAOA or monoamine oxidase A. known as the warrior gene

  • @meloveanna bullshit dude

  • Essentialist bullshit. Violence between humans is a social phenomenon, credit card debt is a very specific cultural phenomenon. We are a complex interaction between our biological matrix and the social experience in which we are embedded. Precise behavioural predispositions cannot be traced to genes in humans like they can (sometimes, to a limited extent) in animals because our behaviour is socially determined. Even the parameters we imagine existing between races are socially determined.

  • This is what you've been lead to believe. The Liberal agenda calls for such an excuse. Do you know the science? did you research it at all? Fuck off and only speak when you have something real to contribute to the conversation, not some politically motivated bullshit to keep people thinking we are all the equal.

  • You've got a nerve calling others politically motivated. Yes I researched it and it's been discredited. Instead of grouping me in your paranoid "liberal" conspiracy, why don't you answer my objections? Human behaviour is an interaction between biology and culture, with social pressures often liable to override biological predispositions. This has all been documented in vast detail, but you're never going to consider any of it because it doesn't support your racist presuppositions. Does it?

  • meloveanna, people who primarily link genes with biological pre-determinism always find kudos for their societal positions over others with the self contrived placebo effects they project on to others who they believe should be below them. George Bush and Sarah Palin is the antithesis to the idea that genes are linked to intelligence and success.

  • That is a poor argument, considering their success was not their own.

  • It outcomes that define success not processes.

  • Palin & Bush junior (add Bill O´Reilly whose intellect is so obviously weak) is excellent point that will score u high ranks especielly in Europe :-) more, how is that their followers r 30% of US ppl, what does it tell us :-)?

    More importantly, first Britain then USA became empires despite OR thanks to their ethnic diversity?

    Of course, "race" doesn't exist - a complex time determined, arbitrary mechanism is necessary to create progress

  • how can i trust this guy?

  • I wish this concept had never been discovered.

  • In the video, the speaker talks about genes that can be labeled to "race". Yet I would of replaced his word of "race" with populations. For there are many populations within the "race" taxonomy, and populations with clines that link these populations.

  • Well ... he did make it clear enough that races are arbitrary divisions

    ... I hope.

  • @Bazompora, Yes, I agree, I just commented too soon. After I realized he was using the word, to humour racialists.

  • I'm often awed at how little relatively-educated whites and blacks in America (and others) understand about the history of race in America. Most human beings are actually not capable of engaging in an intelligent discussion about anything having to do with race unless they have read widely in the area, which has actually been quite well-researched by this time. Read "Race in North America: Origin and Evolution of a Worldview, and perhaps a history of the European colonization of Africa.

  • Yet gradiant mixture of genes due to back migrations and genetic drift bridge populations. So why divide people by a phenotype such as skin colour? For example, we don't divide by all phenotypes,like hair colour or hair type and eye colour.Society, lump sums by skin colour.

  • This video is proof that race matters....This white man breaks things down in detail and it all makes sense, could a black man have done this? no....because blacks are all about race while whites see beyond race but sinse race is a reality that blacks and other non whites choose we must be aware of there racism twards us.

  • @SfynxTV

    lol, that was just stupid.

    hopefully you matured after 2 months.

    If not i would suggest going and seeing who made race such a big thing. i give u a hint it wasnt blacks lol.

    what a moron.

  • The scientific consensus used to be that cranial capacity equalled IQ. Used to be. A hundred and fifty years ago. It's not some big political correctness scam either, different races aren't all that different inside.

    NB - IQ measures one thing and one thing only: the participant's ability to do IQ tests.
