[QUOTE]Originally posted by sshaun002: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ You still don't get it do you?? Even going by an "aggregate" of features, you cannot always tell ones genetic lineage by their looks! [/QUOTE]I've never said it's 100% accurate, but it's accuate enough to be valid. [QUOTE] So what are we to make of all those 'black' populations with kinky hair, broad noses etc. who range from Africa to the Pacific with disparate genetic lineages that obviously don't cluster with each other??![/QUOTE]We can call them two separate populations who shared common environmental conditions. Hart et al. contend that climate is correlated to intelligence. If this is true, we would expect that both populations, regardless of genetic linkeage, will share similar IQ averages. [QUOTE] I gave you a link to this excellent site here: [URL=http://www.pbs.org/race/000_General/000_00-Home.htm]Race: The Power of An Illusion[/URL]. You claim that it is "weak", yet it refutes your premise with logic that you have failed to provide thus far.[/QUOTE]We're not arguing whether race exists or not, but rather population clusters according to geography. [QUOTE] If you can really tell a person's ancestry by how they look, then why don't you take the test [URL=http://www.pbs.org/race/002_SortingPeople/002_00-home.htm]here[/URL].[/QUOTE]The test is bogus for several reasons: a) It uses hybrids rather than more common examples of individuals according to geographic ancestry. There are few Native Indians and Black Americans that are not hybrids. Thus, they can biologically be considered members of two clusters or one. Is Halle Berry black? According to our social construct of race she is, but she could be "white" using a similar perspective. b) Groups cluster according to three major geographic origins: Asians, Africans, and Europeans. The "test" includes two Asian categories (Native American, Asian) and one hybrid category (Hispanic/Mexican). It's easier to tell an Asian apart from a European or African but harder to distinguish and Asian from another Asian (Innuit, Native American, Southern American, and Asians from Asia can and often look similar because they are of common origin). c) Make-up, hair texture alterations, glasses, and other non-biological features obscure a person's true identity. Does the black woman in the pic really have wavy hair? It's likely that she has a perm. Meanwhile some others with naturally wavy hair may curl it. When you combine a, b, and c, you realize that this "test" is a lame attempt at trying to dismiss the idea that legitimate distinctions can and are made commonly every day and for the most part, are accurate.
