I repudiate this argument. OK sure, there is no "pure" race, we all have some genetic influence from one another, very little variation. Scientifically we are all descendants from the same woman, but how "pure" is the human species? if we did infact evolve from apes? science suggests we share 98% of the same dna with apes, therefore the human species is in fact not pure from the apes. All races and species is in some way rellated, but w/ time and evolution they change, each race is unique

I am not sure on what basis you repudiate the argument when you accept as true the basis for the argument. We now know that there was never a scientific basis for race so your comment that each race is unique needs a bit more clarification.

GREAT vid man. Very enlightening. Wasn't crazy about the Cameo track but it grew on me lol. If i take anything away from this vid is that we need to judge people as individuals instead of as a certain race. I totally agree with this sentiment and wish more people thought this way. Our country would be a much better place.

Not to sound cliche but Martin Luter King said it best when he said we need to judge people by the content of the character and not the color of there skin.

Genotype v. Phenotype. Simple as grammar school science lessons. Other than one typo in the end, I'm on board. Thanks

The things that led to skin differences also led to cultural and intelligence differences.

No they did not support the inferences made in the video per se. You are twisting the work of these people to fit your agenda. I should know, Im a biochemist.

I think we agree and have misunderstood each others comments.

But the genetics of intelligence is not known!

Where are you pulling your 'facts' from!

Its well known that humans became pale due to a change of climate and enviornment. They may have become white or lighter due to vitamin D deficiency. Humans didnt magically change into white humans or become super enhanced in any way.

All humans evolve physically but the mental capabilities are down to experience,education, well-being and normal brain function. Black people are scientists too you know!
