How pointless are phenotypes/ phsyical anthropology

[ixulescu]

And why exactly is it of any value to GUESS the origin of complete strangers?

if you don't care about the ancestry and culture of different people then it's of zero interest to you.

but then I wonder what are you doing here?

Its a european cultural forum

discuss culture and politics

not sure what phenotypes got to do with it

[Latinus]

I like the subject, but it's completely useless, even the shit we dump everyday in the toilet has more servent, like being a fertilizer and energy creation.

Another problem with these classify threads is the hysterical reaction of some users, because people X can't overlap with Y and bla, bla bla...

european migrations shaped the cultures of europe.

phenotypes are a weak approximation of DNA testing. they are discussed in the same context as DNA sample clusters. DNA testing has improved a lot our understanding of population migrations in europe.

Phenotypes are interesting and good indicators to define regional differences, but I've seen some trivial shit also through my staying here.

You can choose, those have nothing to do with phenotypes.

DNA = Science

Phenotypes = Pseudo Science

[TheOldNorth]

Some scientific truth behind them, but the science isn’t perfect, as both genetics and environment affect our appearance though I’d argue unless your missing an eye or something genetics has a far stronger affect

you don't understand what science is. not all science has the same degree of precision. you have a very broad range of certainty between exact sciences and social sciences.

phenotypes map to geographical spaces with certain degree of precision, well within the precision of social sciences. of course, DNA testing improves that multiple times over.
