race is all make-believe anyway, why not pretend to be whatever race is convenient for you at the time?

nigga have you looked up the differnet skull shapes between blacks, whites, and asians like how is that not proof that race exists in a great capacity

those old skull shape diagrams don't mean shit, go back to the 19th century with that logic. In reality, the genetic differences between a dude from Sudan and a dude from Ethiopia are much greater than the biological differences between either one and a European, Asian, or indigenous American. And the differences within groups are huge compared to the differences between groups. Sub-races do exist in a lot of animal populations, but there is no scientific basis for race in humans. Probably comes from the fact that we are a relatively young species which did not leave the African continent until <2 MYA.

you are completely full of shit, the reason ethiopians and sudanese are so different is because ethiopians are descended from semites and not sub-saharan groups, no shit they would lots of differences from them, but the ethiopians still have negros dna in them and quite a bit too. As for the skulls, these "old things" as you call them, these were fucking observations, it's not like they just fucking disappeared. There is scientific basis for race

If your evidence is the obvious minor differences between eyes and noses, that's not proof of races at all. We would need to see much larger differences in human genome between what you call "races" if they were to exist in a biological sense.

93% of variation in human genetics is within populations. Compare that to 64% in chimpanzees, a species in which biological races do actually exist.

Nigga of course there is a lot of variation between populations, have you seen countries like india there are thousands of ethnic group there, or how about the US where their are 100s of different ethnic groups and those ethnic have also mixed with one another quite heavily. Different human populations were separated for 1000s of years and formed with different origins and yet we're told that we're all the same, it's fuking ridiculous

Nope. Variation due to ethnicity, race, etc. only comes out to 7% of our genetic differences. Read the article I linked, it seems you are really into this stuff, you'll probably like it.

I read they are talking about populations in the US and Brazil both countries have a large amount of miscegenation, mean the races have mixed together quite significantly, and any populations, like white and blacks that haven't mixed tend to have a significant genetic variation
