Cavalli-Sforza who is quoted many times on this forum has promoted 8 racial groups.

I told you guys you have to watch these white people you keep relying on them and they are setting you up!! [Mad]

^^That's why you learn what you're talkign about yourself, as apposed to relying on anyone.

That way if they wish to be more credible and are honest they'll publish their work for others to investigate.

Like the oodles of fake and busted cranial work that apparently wasn't caught back then thought they may not have known what they were taking about in the first place.

It's not about "white people" it's about the truth.

I'll click your link later.

Cavalli Sforza does no such thing. That is a racialist misrepresnting his conclusions. Cavalli Sforza does state that there is clustering in 8 areas, but that there is a lot of overlap as well. Populational clusters are not races. There is no discrete division. And there is no descriptive phenotype representation.
 -
Note that even though racialist Steve Sailer posts the cover of Sforza's book, in the image there are no set boundaries.
Unfortunately, he does use some outdated terms for these groups. When I asked him why he still used Caucasoid he said

quote:
Dr Lewontin rejects all labels that are reminiscent of races. I agree with him that races are an unsatisfactory structure. Our studies (e.g. Ramachandran et al. 2005 PNAS 102:15947, Li et al 2008 Science 319:1100) show that geographic continuity of genetic differences is practcally universal. But several methods, e.g. "structure" and related ones show centers of spread during recent human evolution which generate unique points of genetic diffusion, due to history and geography. The Caucasus (or better a wider region around it) is one of them, whereby northern India and even more Iran etc., are genetically closer to Europe than to East Asia. South India has had also arrivals from Africa, Arabia, and perhaps from East Asia and is obviuosly somewhat different from north India. The genome approaches that are becoming available can clarify many of these issues but tests on them are so far limited to the populations available in panels like, e.g. the HGDP.
Sincerely
Luca Cavalli-Sforza"

Similarly, Nubians are grouped (p. 169) in with the Caucasian Berbers, although most people consider them to be Black people. With examples like this, you can see why Fig. 1 has Berbers on the border of African and Caucasian.


Lol..so now the Nubians are "White" Caucasian Berbers...lol.

This is a straight up lie.

It is not that Sforza has promoted 8 racial groups, but rather -you are actively promoting- a racist website, by quoting and linking to them, while feigning outrage.

If anything that describes, you, this thread, and your reason for posting it.

Care to explain why you are perusing supremacist websites?

Boooo......

Delete this phony thread.
