What are "Races"?

Audio from "The DNA Files".

Human Genome Project

- Minorities, Race, and Genomics

"DNA studies do not indicate that separate classifiable subspecies (races) exist within modern humans. While different genes for physical traits such as skin and hair color can be identified between individuals, no consistent patterns of genes across the human genome exist to distinguish one race from another. There also is no genetic basis for divisions of human ethnicity. People who have lived in the same geographic region for many generations may have some alleles in common, but no allele will be found in all members of one population and in no members of any other..."

American Anthropological Association

- AAA Statement on Race

"In the United States both scholars and the general public have been conditioned to viewing human races as natural and separate divisions within the human species based on visible physical differences. With the vast expansion of scientific knowledge in this century, however, it has become clear that human populations are not unambiguous, clearly demarcated, biologically distinct groups. Evidence from the analysis of genetics (e.g., DNA) indicates that most physical variation, about 94%, lies within so-called racial groups. Conventional geographic "racial" groupings differ from one another only in about 6% of their genes. This means that there is greater variation within "racial" groups than between them. In neighboring populations there is much overlapping of genes and their phenotypic (physical) expressions. Throughout history whenever different groups have come into contact, they have interbred. The continued sharing of genetic materials has maintained all of humankind as a single species..."

- AAA Response to OMB Directive 15: Race and Ethnic Standards for Federal Statistics and Administrative Reporting

"The clearest data about human variation come from studies of genetic variation, which are clearly quantifiable and replicable. Genetic data show that, no matter how racial groups are defined, two people from the same racial group are about as different from each other as two people from any two different racial groups..."

AND there is a genetic difference between them

[RubberLips90210]

The AAA are pseudo-Marxist Jew frauds intent on destroying White Christian civilization. Google "jewish faces in race related academia stormfront".

Also read "Mapping human genetic diversity in Asia" to see the latest science that proves race exists.

Even the word "race" implies what ? > A "contest" of sorts, which continues to this day. However there are MANY versions of the same story with all aspects of life itself, because humans are naturally TRIBAL beings. We form / join groups, compare / compete on all levels & in ALL aspects of life. "Us against THEM" is behavioral characteristic we ALL own, whenever we choose to "let it out". Our behavior pretty much proves we evolved, even without any fossil evidence anyways, IMHO.

@amasonga And all that LED UP to what Nazi Germany had in mind for Jews.

[matthewgroen]

I'm a white male from the Netherlands and i greet you all, and i hope you're doing fine. peace out

[geeknerdvlog]

There are huge differences

[SloveintzWend]

@amasonga True liar? what did I say? I was only trying to suggest that the persecution of Jewish people prior to 19th century was based on religion not on "race".

[amasonga]

@SloveintzWend You're a true liar or simply naive. The persecution of Jewish people started well before the 19th century. You seem to have forgotten that Jewish at one time in the dark ages were expelled from England, remember the Spanish inquisition, Jewish murders in places such as Russia,etc...All this happened before the Nazi regime!

[amasonga]

@BlackmatterX You're slow.

[BlackmatterX]

@amasonga "As we know..." Jackass, White people were the first slaves in the Americas and in the world. Slavs means Slaves as in SLAVIC people, hybrid. You need to take a break from that white his-story and research the truth. Idiot. Americans were not born dumb; they were programmed to be idiots.
