[QUOTE]Originally posted by Supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: This is not my conclusion. It was the conclusion of the researchers who discussed their findings in the article below. Are you saying that the authors of the article below are misquoting the scientists from the 13 leading genetic institutions who claim that races exist. [/QUOTE]I am saying that 'you' are misreading the article. For instance, what have you learnt from the study, in terms of the genes under study: [*] Is the variation in the alleles or the number of copies? [*]Does the answer to the above support your idea of human "races"? [*]Can the said alleles be inherited via miscegenation between people of 'different' ethnic background? If so, how then do you 'predict' the ethnic background of the offspring from such coupling? ^^I asked you earlier questions along these lines earlier, but of course, you never replied: [QUOTE]Supercar: Clyde at it again, defending the biologically indefensible idea of human "races", and in doing so, grasping onto the idea that the number of "copies" of a gene marks "racial" difference. Meanwhile, things like this were overlooked... [i]there was an underlying similarity in terms of how common it was for genes to be copied,... [b]They do not know why some genes are copied and some are not.[/b][/i] I wonder in what "race" would a European who, in recent history of the family tree, had an African ancestry, but wouldn't be 'physically' out of place with other 'white' Europeans, happened to inherit the 'number' of said genes from that African ancestor, be placed?...just as southern Europe has higher incidence of the Benin haplotype HbS. For instance, if this were the case in the twins shown: [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=004344;p=1#000000]here[/URL][/QUOTE]Posted here: [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=004437]Clyde Winters, you still believe biological race exists?[/URL] ^^Maybe you'll surprise me, and now answer "all" the questions herein, as they are specifically laid out.
