[QUOTE]Originally posted by Whatbox: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: The question of "race" is problematic bcause biologists don't use the term for other living species. A term is meaningful scientifically the more general its usage. So terms like "populations" or "population clines" are preferable. On the matter of haplogroups we note that a very early haplogroup A is much removed mutationally from E1b1a and E1b1b. HgA is found in Southern Africa mainly among he Khoisan. Yet all 3 groups are called "Africans". [qb]The problem arises because we tend to lump groups that share the same geographical spaces as belonging to that space--no matter how large. But that approach is a mixture of geography and biology. [/qb][/QUOTE]Truth Though, those markers you mention are merely paternal for each individual and so on down the line account for an increasingly miniscule amout of your ancestors, in addition to already counting for a teensy part of your DNA / genetic make up. I'm pretty sure (that as it so happens) the major population world dichotomy that anyone will come up with will be two populations consisting of Africans and Everyone else. Then Everyone else breaks into groups. But genetically there does appear to be a group that conforms to Africa, not that I'm going against what you bolded because I'm all for it in the academic sense. [/QB][/QUOTE]
