I believe humans today are made up of various subspecies, but we are all still Homo sapiens.

@33Crazydude For any other species that would be honourable, reasonable, orthodox and scientifically correct. This idea that the existence of intermediates disproves the existence of sub-species would be pooh-poohed as the flim-flam that it is. Of course they're different. You study the brown ones and I'll study the beige ones and we can each officially name the other sub-species after each other, is that a deal? Pass the brandy.

@MartinJWillett I was watching a documentary about a subspecies of black bear that has pure white fur and known as the spirit bear.

White spirit bears are the result of a recessive gene that is carried by approximately 10 percent of Kermode bears. Two bears carrying this gene can produce a white cub.

If they’re considered a subspecies then surely the difference between Europeans and African would put us in a subspecies category. Political correctness is to blame here.

@33Crazydude Are they considered a sub-species? I would not have thought that would count, it is just a notable trait within a species.

@superhamzah85 Fairness means equality of opportunity, not a bland sameness of outcome achieved by stifling the best and the brightest with quotas.

@MartinJWillett

It does seem to be classified as a subspecies and if you type sprit bear into Wikipedia you’ll get some interesting info about this rare animal.

Also check out Survival with Ray Mears about Bears on you tube.

You’ll love watching it and its set in British Columbia.

sure yoshobbit ..any child could see that the NFL and NBA are clearly engaged in discriminarory hireing practices , otherwise there would only be 12% afro american atheltes in the game ..why ? ..because we all now KNOW that there are NO differences whatever between the so called "races " ..and blacks make up only 12% of the US population ......right ?..why are latinos,jews,indians and asians blocked access to these lucrative professions by this obviously racist "glass ceiling" in sports?

[yoshobbit]

@woodenmajor Are you serious? Who says the NBA or NFL is discriminating??

@khmer41980 sorry for the grammatical error. I have 4% Neanderthal DNA in my genome.

[khmer41980]

All none Africans have up to 4% Neanderthal DNA. How can a race denialist explain that away.
