[QUOTE]Originally posted by osirion: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [b] I understand what you are trying to say, and your good intent. But genes are not coded for 'racial type'. As with your fling with -"Keyanoids", you have an unfortuntate tendancy to go off on tangents while making stuff up. Instead root your arguments in peer review scholarship - which of course, you must familiarise yourself with, prior. Also please review the 1st page of this thread and the topic of Pseudoscience. I'm trying not to be overly critical, but if you're not careful, you will end up making almost as little sense as Erroneous, which takes some doing.[/b][/QUOTE] And I still say Kenyanoid makes more sense than Negroid! Why are all the other racial types encoded with a region or origin? I do agree that genes do not encode racial types since we don't really know how to define such a thing. However, either you believe that things happen simply by random or you believe we have internal programming that produces what we see. In the discussion of evolution there are plenty of theories but very few facts or laws. We are really not sure what produces the diversity we see. Again, a deterministic approach to evolution is that there are discrete laws that govern the results - an internal programming. Example: Pgymies are an example of this. There seems to be a natural genetic change that occurs due to lack of food that results in dwarfism. If you are a probablistic evolutionist then you will say that all the non-dwarfs died off. If you are a deterministic evolutionist, you will say that there was a gene triggered due to an environment change. Both theories have their issues. All I can say is that we have yet to understand how deterministic biology works but there's ample evidence that it must exist. Unfortunately because we cannot see the evidence of determinism most scientist fall back to probablistic theories. Like with Quantum dynamics, since we cannot really see quarks we use statistic to observe them. This is what probabalistic theorist do with evolution. We cannot observe evolution so we use guesswork. Just because we cannot observe quarks it doesn't mean their propery is truly random: we just can't really see them. The same is true with evolution. We cannot see the mechanism that triggers genes doesn't mean that they are not there. Can't use peer review research since they are almost wholly into probalistic evolution.
