I’m continually fascinated how long it takes wackadoodledoos to absorb information.
There’s probably been hundreds of posts on hot copper with references that show well established research that race does not exist - yet the boneheads still plough on regardless
oh well- another 50 years perhaps eh boys?
“No, race does not exist biologically. The search results clearly show that race is a social construct, not a biological reality.[1][2][3][4][5]
The key points are:
- Modern science regards race as a social construct, without any inherent physical or biological meaning.[1][2]
- Genetic studies have shown there is more genetic variation within a single population than between different populations. There are no discrete genetic "races" in humans.[1][2][4]
- Attempts to define races based on physical traits like skin color or other adaptive features are flawed, as these traits do not correlate with overall genetic differentiation.[2][5]
- Race is a social and cultural categorization that has shifted over time, not a biological classification.[3][5]
In summary, while race has significant social and cultural impacts, it does not have a basis in human biology or genetics. Race is a human-created construct, not a biological reality.[1][2][3][4][5]
