Question:

Is there any evidence that genetically skin color has nothing to do with certain quality of each race?

In other words, the sets of genes that determine skin color and phenotyes are "not" linked to other genes that control temper/intelligence/other mental/physical charateristics?.

We should(= supreme principle) respect each individual for the reason he/she is a human being. However, what kind of scientific/objective evidence do we have to support that each race is really equal?. Do you think male and female are equal, given the hugh differences in morphology and mental charaterisitcs?. Do you think only environmental factors can explain how Egypt, Mesophotamia, then Greece, India, and China had established civilization first and then later Germanic race,,,?. This is a very interesting question. Do you agree that each breed of dog is same?. No: different appearance / temper/intelligence.

Should we all mix them up?. Single Hybrid and Single Culture. Thus, There Should be no pure German Sherperd on the earth?. Not all will agree. How about Human?. Should we mix All up?. I don't know.

  1. since you bring up dog breeds...

    Dogs are one of the most diverse species on the planet...while humans are one of the least.

    A human is a human...in the human DNA there are no differences.


  2. There is no evidence to show that certain "races" of people have different inborn psychological or personality traits that are "race specific". It would be nearly impossible to determine this because we are culturally dependent beings, and we tend to have a high degree of genetic variation even within isolated groups.

    There is no one thing which causes a society to make the transition to civilization. The westerncentric view is that technologically advanced = better, but if you examine things in depth you might find this isn't always the case. Not only that, if you ever had the chance to sit and speak with someone from a "primitive tribe" you would likely find they aren't any less intelligent than the average person, and most of them actually have very complex beliefs and philosophies.

    As for advanced technology, the most of us stand on the shoulders of giants. We would not have thought to make fire. We would not have thought to invent written language, we would not have thought to build irrigation systems, it would not have occurred to us that the world isn't flat, and so on.

  3. I believe it is inevitable that we will be all one race someday far into the future. But in answer to your first question, what evidence is there that skin color does effect other racial characteristics? Until it can be proven that there is a correlation, I prefer to assume we are all equal.

  4. These genes are not polygenic/pleitropic, but usually Medellin and not so linked.

    This is not to say that other population variance could not have validity.

  5. Your line of reasoning is certainly not scientific.

    1. All animals must follow natures rules.

    2. Humans are animals.

    3. Dogs are animals.

    4. Then what we find in dogs can be applied to humans.

        Wrong.

    This idea might have fooled you since the first three premises are correct. But the fact is both humans and dogs follow natures rules AND also a different set of rules: human rules.

    A German Shepard is a man-made race, and so are all other dog races you know of. Appearance, temper and intelligence in dog breeds are different because there where breeders intentionally selecting  those characteristics to suit their standards. Therefore, this characteristics are not natural built there but artificially selected.

    So no, the environment played no role whatsoever in the formation of dog breeds.

    And no, dog differences cannot explain human differences.
