When will it start to be acceptable for anthropologists to be autistic like this again?

What do genes have to do with it?

Different groups of people have different phenotypes that you can make stereotypes about, it's not good or bad, living in a world that is constantly praising human diversity and then turning around and treating humanity as one interchangeable faceless blob is...Boring.

never, though Veeky Forums is definitely trying really really hard

...or we could not waste valuable resources and use much more accurate tools such as genetics, instead of trying to appease people that can't let go of their obsolete theories like phrenology.

It's dead, Jim. And for good reason.

You keep invoking phrenology and I don't see why, taking note of different groups of people have differing frequencies of aquiline noses or recessed chins has little to do with phrenology.

desu, genetics alone would only tell you "dark skinned"+"curly hair"+"wide noses"
a photographic archive would still be nice to have around to see how those marker go on to become a real person
will racist retards try to hitch a ride for their ideology (which is not only about the differences between ethnic groups but a clear set of actions about how to keep them at bay of society)? Yes, they totally will. But proper academics will benefit from it and it will be great for preserving the cultural heritage of people who are going to become modernized (and thus will have their cultures change dramatically) during this century

What do you think of genetically modifying humans? It could present greater dilemmas than eugenics if someone literally is genetically superior.

A world like star trek with ferengi and klingons would be fun but if it isn't true then it is basically cosplaying. There are enough memes and spooks as it is. It is better to introspect, figure out why you are so interested in phenotypology and try to transplant this passion onto something real.

What exactly is it that you want?

That scientists make data on it? I'm pretty sure that more data is the last thing we need here. The Digital Age has delivered us literally billions of images and who knows how many other datapoints of humans for you to admire.
That they analyze it? I'm pretty sure that you'll find some related journal, if you look hard enough. For example, in fields that research face recognition, or pretty much anything else that is tied to both Big Data and fotos of you.

>. It is better to introspect, figure out why you are so interested in phenotypology and try to transplant this passion onto something real.
Why?

Phenotypical diversity is real as day.

I like appreciating the myriad of differing phenotypes humanity has to offer and grouping them into specific geographical origins. Nothing wrong with that.

>you
i only posted and was not part of the original thread, i cannot answer for OP
but I think photographic, maybe even 3D scanning of humans from around the globe would be neat and allow us to produce better dioramas and documentaries than "generic slavic people" "generic black people" etc it would be nice for people in the future to see in a history class what the people of say, Guyana, actually looked like instead of "artist rendition of what guyanans looked like"
i can settle for the photo archive, since anthropology is too underfunded for anything else

WE

The irony is that bringing back shit like this would do more to deconstruct classic "muh three great races chinks niggers and honkies" then it would to reaffirm it. Human ethno diversity is a spectrum.

You can do that if you want, but it will be difficult to reach any firm conclusions.

>Want to become an anthropologists
>Don`t want to be political correct
What do?

if you are this autistic you might as well find a perfectly useless hobby in the ancient literature instead of just depending on forums like Skadi or users like Agrippa

most recent additions to my massive collection: these archive.org/search.php?query=hans weinert (I am now able to understand written German because of scanned books by Hans Günther, Bruno Schultz, Otto Ammon, Ludwig Woltmann and the like)

This is from when science was actual science.

So long as it's not used for racist and discriminatory purposes, OK.

color is a spectrum too, but you can still clearly see when red is red and when yellow is yellow.

>want to go into a science
>can't avow it because it apparently has an inherently liberal bias for not pandering to your stupid worldview

you should kys

>Faelid
>North Atlantid
>Subnordid
>Atlanto-Mediterranid
>Gracile Mediterranid
>East Mediterranid
>Paleoatlantid
Would bang.

And some people say cucumbers taste better pickled

never, halplogroups and genetic sequencing replaced morphological autismic classifications

Can you appreciate architecture by looking at nothing but the floor plan?

are you trying to say scientists "appreciate" instead of study?

Grouping everybody into haploshits and then calling it a day detracts from the spirit of Anthropology IE studying different groups of people and everything that makes them unique.

Not him, but, maybe when the genes are fully deciphered, that is, when we know which gene prognathes the mouth a certain way, or which gene makes a Dinaric chin.

Maybe then you can fuse both disciplines together, actual it makes sense to provide illustrations next to certain genes. So I would say it is a practicality that it will be resurrected in some form, or another as an accompaniment to gene analysis.
