[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Yatunde Lisa Bey: [QUOTE] [b]Guidelines Warn Against Racial Categories in Genetic Research A new report from the National Academies of Science noted that race was a poor proxy for genetic diversity.[/b] NYTimes, March 14, 2023 Dr. Tishkoff pointed to the genetic variation among people in Africa, where she has done field work for decades. Humans arose in Africa about 200,000 years ago and diversified into many populations, which have mixed together over thousands of generations. A wave of people expanded out of Africa about 60,000 years ago, spreading to other continents. That history makes it impossible to identify a genetic makeup of all Africans that would correspond to a Black race. “There’s going to be more diversity between neighboring groups in certain regions of Africa than we see across the globe,” Dr. Tishkoff said.[/QUOTE] https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/14/science/race-genetics-research-national-academies.html [/QUOTE]This is an article by an author named Carl Zimmer writing in the NYTimes He is talking about the researcher Sarah Tishkoff talking about Africans and then he brings up the racial term "Black" suggesting some Africans are not Black. The implication of this article is that race, "white" , "black" etc are obsolete terms Thus you can't accuse white or black people of doing things, you will have to switch to nationality/geographic terms, European, British, African, West African, etc, whatever I would say that is not perfect but could be an improvement over superficial color based terms [/QB][/QUOTE]
