[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [qb] [QUOTE]If humans are a mass of genes and genes are biology which produced the human body how can it not be biological determinism?[/QUOTE]What is it, that you are referring to? Human behavior? The reason that human behavior is not pre-determined by biology, is that humans are intelligent. Intelligent behavior is denoted by the freedom and ability of the organsism to change its behavior in response to, or even in anticipation of the environment. Intelligence is contrasted in biology with instinct. Instinct is pre-determined genetic response behavior that cannot be modified by the organism, short of genetic alteration. Instinct can be predicated by biology. Intellect cannot. If you disagree - don't talk, prove it. Prove that by identifying a peson as Indo-European, or African, you can then make inferences about the functioning of their penal gland - and then determine what their BE-HAV-IOR in life is going to be. Now, this is my last response on this off-topic, which I usually chose not to contribute to at all. [/qb][/QUOTE]Indeed what Evergreen and few others fail to realize is that such beliefs of biological determinism underlie racial science and was the very root of racist assumptions backed up by 'science'.
