[QUOTE]Originally posted by Miguel Antunes: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [qb] To MA, If the issue of "race" is to be normalised biologically they way science does it with [b]all[/b] flora and fauna then clearly someone of European extraction born in Africa could not be classified as "African" in much the same way that a Polar Bear born in a zoo in Nigeria would not be a "Tropical Bear". Same for "African Elephant" versus "Asian Elephant" or "African Gray Parrot" vs. other sub-species. Or think of "North American Brown Bear" and "Polar Bear" or terms like "Artic Fox" and "Artic Tern". The point is that there is a population cluster with phenotypical traits developed on the tropical/sub-tropical terrain of Africa over millenia. To use technical language we can call those populations "Homo Sapiens Africanus". Europeans whereever born woould be "Home Sapiens Europaeus", etc. The goal is to be as scientific as much as possible by using the same methodology that biologists of the world's flora and fauna do. So, Burmese python is just that--a Burmese python, wherever found. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yes lamin, of course, I was merely speaking geographically. Biologically the answer will be different. [/QB][/QUOTE]
