I feel as though arguments against race realism are simply not grounded in biology when they claim to be. This is exemplified in the "debate" JF had with the aussie on Adam Warski's stream.
These Animals in pic-related are Hoolock Gibbons, which are a genus of primates. The Hoolock genus contains three species, the Western Hoolock Gibbon (Hoolock hoolock), the Eastern Hoolock Gibbon (Hoolock leuconedys), and the Skywalker Gibbon (Hoolock tianxing).
These three species are all very similar in appearance, habitat, and genetics. However, the slight genetic and phenotypic differences. These are minor local adaptations that led to scientists defining these populations as separate taxon. In the stream, the Aussie argues that local populations should not be considered different taxon, without realizing that taxonomy is an arbitrary science. There is no set standard for defining a species or subspecies. At one point, all Hoolock Gibbons were classified as the same species in an entirely different genus, but we know better now. Taxonomy is constantly changing and is not "settled science" as the aussie claimed. It is extremely possible that different populations of modern humans may be defined as separate subspecies or species in due time, seeing as the genetic and phenotypic differences in modern humans are far greater than those found in the Hoolock genus.

It doesn't really matter to me. I just think race deniers are intellectually dishonest.
Carson Wilson
The thing is that race is not scientifically rigorous.
Nathan Anderson
>It doesn't really matter to me. then why are you watching race realism videos on youtube and making threads about them
Justin Miller
Because I am interested in current debates.

Dogs are basically the best example for racists who reject race science.
Hudson Hernandez
You have been BTFO three times in a row. You even contradicted yourself. heh
Aaron Rogers
Is taxonomy on a whole rigorous? There are marked genetic differences between human populations that affects behavioral and phenotypical aspects. If Gibbons can be divided scientifically into different taxon, why not modern humans.
Robert Wilson
When did I contradict myself?
Brody Miller
>is taxonomy The inherited characteristics from the XIX century of taxonomy are immediately non-rigorous. That's a fact.

Andrew Rodriguez
Race classification is influenced by a judgement of apparent features, implying that apparent phenotype defines genotype. This implication is completely false. Race is not scientifically based. Therefore, race is not science.
This is from the other thread btw

Due to its inherited XIX century classifications. As the current race jedgements are influenced by appearance, it contradicts science. I think this is easy to understand.

Thus, race isn't science. race is pseudoscience.

Ryan Bennett
You are a scientific moron. A phenotype is the outward expression of an organisms genotype. They are inherently related. But aside from that point, races are in fact different genotypically from each other. A Northern European has a far different genotype than a Sub-Saharan African or an East Asian. Just look at Haplogroups. Regardless, I am not using the XIX century taxonomy of races you idiot. I am using the modern day taxonomy of similar species and apllying those standards to humans.
Cameron Hernandez
It describes race classifications. As race classifications contradict scientific facts. They are not science. >not using xix Race classifications have inherited the appearance judgement component. And this implies what post says.

Liam Lopez
it's called "the species problem", not the "race problem" besides, any race can impregnate any other race and have viable offspring phenotype is highly variable, even more so in humans due to the low selection pressure we've been experiencing race is even more arbitrary than species
Nathan Gray
It shows how race contradicts a scientific fact.
Therefore race isn't science.
Joshua Diaz
I used haplogroups as evidence to show that genotypes differ on racial lines. I never stated that haplogroups are races themselves, just genetic markers. Races would be constituted from several haplogroups.
Also, yes I do want to change modern racial classifications. I want them to be as scientific as possible. What you are saying is that races do not exists, which is blatantly false. We observe racial differences on the phenotypic and genotypic level. That is undeniable.
Wyatt Reed
I do not care about people producing fertile offspring. That is an archaic classification os species that has not been taken serious since the birth of the fertile Bottlenose Dolphin and False Killer Whale hybrid. Almost all species that share a genus can produce fertile hybrid offspring.
Connor Garcia
>you are saying x I'm mentioning that race isn't science. Why? Because it contradicts basic genetics.
The rest of your post is full of brainlet accusations and off topic brainletry.
If you want "race" to be redefinned, good for you.
Andrew Martin
How dense are you? Race doesn't contradict any scientific facts You still have not addressed the fact that we find strong genetic differences between races and that racial lines aren't merely based on appearance.
Gabriel Bailey
Who is the brainlet here? You still have not stated why the concept of race contradicts genetics. Races differ on a genetic level. This is how you can get a DNA test to see where you ancestors came from. RACE IS GENETIC.
Carson Bell
>race doesn't contradict Yes. Race classifications are influenced by appearance judgements. This implies that phenotype defines genotype, which is false.
race isn't science. Race is pseudoscience.

Ryan Kelly
I never said or implied I based racial categories off of appearance alone. I specifically said racial categories differ on a genetic level and that is how I would divide them. You are purposefully misrepresenting my point.
Bentley Morgan
I can't tell if you are just trolling us or not.

Waste of space. You don't have to say anything. You just have to mention racial the classifications. The classifications are based on appearance components.
Isaac Adams

no, seeing a bullet hole in a wall implies that there was a gun present, in the exact same way that physical differences imply that there is a genetic component that caused the physical difference. Biology works in one direction, get that through your thicc skull
Nolan Nelson
Has he? I think you want him to be.
Bentley Martin
What about the Neanderthal interbreeding between most homo sapiens other than sub Saharan Africans? Even if you want to contend that the majority of the races are only phenotypically distinct, you must admit that a purebred African stands out genetically compared to the rest of the world.
Angel Brown
Well, a researcher in 2016: >"In the wake of the sequencing of the human genome in the early 2000s, genome pioneers and social scientists alike called for an end to the use of race as a variable in genetic research (1, 2). Unfortunately, by some measures, the use of race as a biological category has increased in the postgenomic age (3). Although inconsistent definition and use has been a chief problem with the race concept, it has historically been used as a taxonomic categorization based on common hereditary traits (such as skin color) to elucidate the relationship between our ancestry and our genes. " Wikipedia: "Race is a concept used in the categorization of humans into groups, called races or racial groups, based on combinations of shared physical traits, ancestry, genetics, and social or cultural traits." Huh? Wrong. Seing a "bullet hole" implies research being made to identify the causes of the hole. Meanwhile apparent phenotype can't be studied the same way as a bullet hole, and the unique way to prove such claims would be studying the genetics of such individual.
Race isn't science. Race is pseudoscience.
Ian Nguyen
>"Race is a concept used in the categorization of humans into groups, called races or racial groups, based on combinations of shared physical traits, ancestry, genetics, and social or cultural traits." This doesn't say that "Race classification is influenced by a judgement of apparent features" implies "phenotype defines genotype".
Next?

So far all you've done is strawman an argument that no one here or anyone you've quoted has made.
Henry White
>race classification is influenced Of course it says it. It's based on apparent traits, which implies that phenotype defines genotype, and that's incorrect. Thus race isn't science. Race is pseudoscience. See ^the first part of my post.

How ass-blasted do you have to be to behave like this? Lmao. OP's picture is correct in pointing out that the different races of the world are at least distinct subspecies of homo sapiens. People just get uppity about it becuase it is pertaining to humans and "muh ethics," as if the person stating facts is responsible for any moral consequences of said information.
>He isn't aware of Guo (2015) in which participants were able to self-identify their own genetic cluster (race) ~99.8% of the time
Did you watch the entire stream? JF ran circles around the "archeologist" and "museum keeper," or whatever he was. It was just some boomer who was offended by the idea and wanted evolution to only apply to animals.

Dominic Taylor
I don't think anybody said that "race was science," whatever such a statement might mean, just that races are genetically distinct. You can refer to the study I mentioned, if you take issue with that fact.
Nobody is claiming that taxonomy doesn't have its flaws, but the whole point the image is to state that we scrutinize the polytypic nature of other species more than we do to ourselves because "muh feels."
Ryder Nguyen
Buddy, why don't you check the first post of the chain? You might be surprised.

To be fair you can identify a race by the skull. Sad thing is, this science is really marginalized because it's somehow "racist". In any case, forsenics can know your race based on your skull.

Nathan Price
No, it's not, brainlet. Do you accept the theory of evolution? Do you accept that mammals and, consequently humans, are a product of evolution? If yes, why would you then assume that observed phenotypic differences have no relationship with genetics?
I see you shitting up every thread like this. You either have self-esteem issues, or you're feeling some sort of political or psychological frustration. Let the adults discuss reality.
