I'm not a believer that evolution happens that fast. So presumably it is due to African roots.
While evolution is slower than it looks, it's faster than you think. Evolutionary changes to biology. Evolution occurs all the time and make change or fluctuate depending on different circumstances. Changes in human biology can happen in months or even mere days. It's only lasting evolutionary change that requires millions of years. Furthermore, as evolution progresses, you begin to see certain traits pop up more frequently which proves that evolution is A. gradual and B. rapid.
If you think this cannot possibly be the case with African Americans you have to remember that East Africans were introduced to America over 400 years ago. That gives lots of breathing room for evolution. if you want hard proof that these traits in African Americans are not due to African roots all you need is to look at Africans themselves who don't share the traits present in African Americans.
Your beliefs are not corroborated by data. While science has an aspect of faith to it, science distinguishes itself from other faiths by being based on information we have on the world around us.
It's more than likely genetic, and whites would not get it without some sort of genetic modification or selective breeding.
It's due to evolution. if whites were placed into the same environment and situations that blacks with low serum and low-fracture risks inhabit, after let's say 200 to 300 years, you'll begin to see changes.
I'm not talking about ethnic diversity. I'm talking about genetic diversity. Asia and Europe are not as genetically diverse as Africa.
What defines a ethnicity
is genes unless you are alluding that race is a social construct. Therefore, by talking about ethnic groups I am talking about genes. This is obvious in any discussion regarding the genes of other races.
Again, I said nothing about ethnicities. You are essentially arguing with yourself at this point.
As I stated, ethnicity is genetic identity. You can't identify with a ethnic group because you have no power to do so. Your genes dictate your ethnic group regardless of what you define yourself as.
I'm not clear at all how you jump to that conclusion from a comment about political discussion.
By stating the the Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid trinity is not false but imprecise, you are simply using a different word to mellow the flaws of the idea itself. Therefore I used the word "uncomfortable" in order to mellow the impact of 9/11.
In both instances we defended something by not directly arguing for it but by simply rephrasing it in order to mitigate it's falsehoods. Therefore they aren't arguments, they're just attempts at handwaving way the arguments of others. These techniques have no place in thoughtful, rational discussion.
Not that it matters much, but why do you think early 20th Century progressives were so stupid?
Because there are certain types of information we have about the world today that they could not possibly have access to. The Caucasoid, Negroid, Mongoloid concept was due to a lack of information about genetics and how genes worked so many anthropologists simply classified people based on their physical appearance rather than their actual genes. The Caucasoid, Negroid, Mongoloid idea is a shallow representation of ethnic groups. It doesn't even go into genes, simply the shape of a certain race's nose or size of mouth.
Our civilization is essentially being destroyed. What's your point?
Your civilization will be destroyed because of your foolish ideas of ethnicity. No matter how much hoops white nationalists, racists, and "scientific realists" will jump through, no matter how much they try, they will never find a "white" ethnic group. The idea that a "pure" ethnicity even exists shows a lack of any understanding of basic genetics. In your attempt to shallowly define any superior race based on solely skin color you will find that you must create conditions where "black" skin color can never come to be and where "white" ethnic groups are dominant (which means avoiding any areas with extensive warmth and going to places with large amounts of coldness along with lots of snowfall). Then you must make sure that people only breed with other "whites" which, after 1,000 years will surely result in incest and in another 500 years will result in the retardation of the population.
White skin and blue eyes will never give you more intelligence, greater physical ability, or more power. It will only make your heart the size of a peppercorn, your intestines rotten, your lungs eroded, hydrocephalus, a singe testicle as black as coal, and infertility.
Well, that's how 23andMe identifies me, and it is essentially correct.
23andMe never defined you as such. You simply traced the blue eye phenotype to the Black Sea and ran with it. Having blue eyes doesn't prove you are Caucasian just like how having an Indo-European language doesn't make you Indo-European.
We were talking about sexual preference, not rational discussion. I suppose you are going to tell me you consciously regulate your body temperature, heart rate and metabolism next.
This is about sexual preference. Your frontal cortex is the thing that allows you to appreciate and crave beauty at such a level that is nearly a basic biological function. Unless you would screw a healthy but fat, toothless, and old lady just because she has blue eyes. Animals, unlike humans, have no such distinctions.
Humans are animals. Darwin noted antlers. Deer are substantially more evolved than a heap of protoplasm.
If Humans are animals than they are horrible at being them. We constantly do things that animals will never do such as questioning our own existence, having complex social structures and being capable of questioning them, being able to be entertained and wanting to seek entertainment, seeking to learn about the world around us despite there being no biological reason to do so, seeking to educate our own children, and, if meditation is of any indication, being able to feel one with the world around us, a process that does not fully occur until death.
