[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [qb] To Arwa: Re "race" and disease, then what about Tay Sach's disease--found only among the Ashkenazi clinal subset of Europeans? Has this disease ever been diagnosed among generic Africans or South Asians or East Asians? [/qb][/QUOTE]Are you saying Ashkenazi Jews are a race? If you could find a desease that only effected Ashkenazi Jews you would have two groups Ashkenazi in group one. And non Ashkenazi in group two. Group two would include Africans, Asians, Europeans and non Ashkenazi Jews. If the basis of your race grouping is 'said disease' then you may not place Ashkenazi in a race group [subset] with people who don't have this disease. If 'some' have it, and some don't - this would then be non-concordant to race-typology, therefore yet again *contradicting* race. It would be like claiming skin color is racial, the grouping certain blacks in the race catagory of "whites who are black", technically falsifying the original premise. You can't have it both ways Lamin. You can't claim a disease is racial - then assign it to only 'subset' of a so called 'race'. Lack of prescence of assigned trait in all members of the claimed race-group is the only possible method of falsification. A theory with no intrinsic method of falsification is not valid, and race is notorious for producing pseudo-scientific theories rooted in cicular reasoning and so, impossible to falsify.
