And there are no breeds of dogs, either.
Race is definitely socially constructed to some degree and was even more so in the past, but you can biologically determine someone's ancestry. However, there is no such thing as a genetically inferior race.
That's fair, but only because what one considers "superior" is subjective. If you consider poor intelligence superior because it prevents technological development, and is therefore good for the environment, then you could certainly claim that Nigerians are superior to Germans.Quote:

I think it's all very subjective, especially the way intelligence is measured. You should take a look at the !Kung people from Africa. They are a hunting and gathering society. Instead of technology and western medicine, they rely on herbs and trance dances. They practically have a use for each of the plants in their area. It actually works and heals the illnesses a lot of people in the village experience, as do the trance dances. A Canadian doctor visited the !Kung, and during her time there, she was highly shocked when she saw a medicine woman bring a baby back to consciousness after a trance dance. When she medically examined all the children, they were all healthy, with the exception of one girl who had a heart murmur. A lot of so called "inferior" people are actually better off than westerners in a lot of areas, the biggest being health. Westerners are more prone to things like heart disease, diabetes, etc, while other people aren't. Everyone is just very good at manipulating their environment given climate, economy, etc. That's why the !Kung went back to being a hunter and gathering society after they weren't colonized anymore, because hunter and gathering is more naturally beneficial to them. People just need to stop viewing other cultures through an ethnocentric lens.Quote:

You people think there's such a difference, believe me, you've never seen what real human subspecies look like. Go look at the various sub-species of Homo Erectus some time, and you'll realize how uniform humans are.
That's all your argument. Insults. You convinced me now :rolleyes:Quote:

If there is only one human race I'd like to see you explain poor East-Asians having far higher IQs than equally poor Africans.
