>Race...Whites

First define "Race" science science says no such thing exists, and these are made-up, culturally-dependent, arbitrary and inconsistent classifications based on arbitrary and meaningless superficial characteristics

What is "White"?

"Hispanic" means someone who speaks Spanish, not a "race". The rest of your classifications are equally meaningless

Here is a chart of human skin tones, show me where "white" is:

Here lets do some math:

You already know that everyone has two parents, and we get half of our genes from each parent.
So, basic math applies:

Lets just go back 10 generations -- that's 250 years. That means that there are about 1025 people between you and your ancestor of 250 years ago (2 to the power of 10).

That in turn means you only share 1/1025th or 0.092% of your genes with an ancestor of just 250 years ago, which in effect means you're about as related to him, as everyone else.

How humans became humans -

Oh I see, so you're qualified to judge whether a bunch of scientists are accurate o r not huh

And thank you for the link to SNPs but I'm well aware of them, the idea that they can be used to determine your "ethnic heritage" or "ancestry" (race, lets face it) is nonsense.

But how are YOU qualified to judge what SNPs have to do with the claims of these companies, telling you that you're 48 percent Viking and 23 percent Italian or whatever?


DO you realize how irrational you sound
No, seriously, lets put the substance of the debate aside and look objectively at your position: scientists are wrong, you are right, because you know better, Just answer me one question: would you consider that a rational response, regardless of the subject matter, in any sort of debate?

I'm curious to know how your mind works

Here's an interesting book for you
