"Shall we make the usual bet?"
“race” is simply a proxy for CULTURE.
Cultural differences are what separate us.
“Race” is simply an externally identifiable proxy to determine, with some accuracy, the behavioral tendencies of a person.
I noted the article mentioned “our evolutionary past”, and I knew the rest would be garbage. Starting with a false premise will rarely lead you to a reality-based conclusion.
If you want the reality, the “races” were formed after the people were scattered from Babel and humans adapted to the new environments in which they lived.
"Shall we make the usual bet?"
What physical mechanism allowed them to adapt to their new environment?
If that adaptation involved a change in the DNA of the population it was evolution by definition.
If that adaptation was accomplished through natural selection of genetic variations within that population then it was evolution via the mechanism described by Darwin.
What mechanism do you suggest accounts for the differences between human populations?
This should be amusing!!!!
