I count like about 20 there? There are 5 million and most of them do not express.

Sure yeah most of the regional variance that actually expresses is immunological. The epidermis is the front line of your body to the environment. Again I do not know why you are posting SNP clusters. You can make them for anything. Paleogeneticists use them to track Etruscans this does not make Etruscan an important biological category.

Paleogenetics is really cool BTW.

The racial groups are clearly biologically distinct from one another

if this was an animal, we would call them subspecies

geologically isolated from one another yet still able to interbreed

NO that's not what that means. You can isolate SNPs that are dominant for Iberians.

of course you can, but these are not just looking at one snp

europeans are much more connected and have much much more overlap with each other than with sub-saharan africans

SNPs, plural.

frankly this denial of the basic reality of race is pretty ridiculous

i remind you here, my argument is simply "race is genetic"

It's not denial of anything. I'm trying to explain some fairly basic genetics here but can't seem to get it past your obsession with race.

but race is the subject lol

you said, saying race=genetics is wrong

what is it then if not genetics?

In the sense that all life on this planet is genetic yes. In the sense that it is a genetically meaningful category no. Now if understanding genetics is immaterial to that topic for you then fine.

ok not everything is genetics

language is not genetics

religion is not genetics

etc

race is genetic

now wether its a "meaningful" category is entirely subjective

By your standard Iberian is a race and so is Hutu going back to an earlier example.

I would not call them races, maybe ethnic groups

part of a larger category called race

part of a larger category called species

etc

just because you can find a smaller sub-category doesn't invalidate the concept of race

you can say the same about a family say

OK then stop using graphs of SNPs then because if that is how you find 'race' Iberian is not a sub-category it is just as much a race as any other. If we are still talking about genetics that is....

Or you are saying that these golden collections of SNPs that happen to align with your pre-genetic unscientific concept of race are magically more significant than other SNPs.

are you saying there is just as much overlap between french and german than between french and somali?

look idk what to say, if you wont concede something as simple and obvious as "race is determined by genetics" then idk that this conversation is going anywhere lol

Neither do I concede something as simple and obvious as "the sun orbits the earth." For, like race, while it is plain for anyone to see nobody who studies the actual science believes it.

@Wulfric Check this out. Interesting results of expert consensus on race.

The eternal boomer should read this too lol
