I would say statistically significant.
Saying that different peoples have different abilities, as well as different looks, in no way implies that they have less moral worth as human beings. Nor does it imply they should have less worth legally.
The erroneous assumption that it does has poisoned racial discussion in the United States for decades.
I’ll see your three kids and raise the ante to four. As you say, “all raised in the same household, all different in their abilities and interests.”
We’re really not “Holder’s people.”
This sounds biblical to me.
Unfortunately there is more than one type of blood out there and they are not all compatible. Ever hear of A, A+, B, B+ or O? Then there is the RH factor.
Ok, let me get this straight. Scientist say that modern humans came out of Africa AFTER neanderthals died out. Therefore Africans have no Neanderthal DNA. However, how could any modern human have neanderthal DNA if they evolved from Africans? How are they determining “African” and “non African” populations? Did Europeans evolve separately from Afircans or didn’t they? Seems to me the DNA says they did.

How clever.
Unfortunately for you, blood types are not divided by Ancestry.
And I doubt that God was talking about blood TYPEs when stating that all are of ONE BLOOD, meaning ONE ANCESTRY.
PapaBear3625 didn’t say we aren’t “one blood”. he didn’t say we are different species.
but, there are genetic differences. even between black populations. sprinters from west africa, marathoners from east. causasian achilles tendons are different.
and the “Bell Curve” is ignored, but not refuted.
(just as Asians have HIGHER average I.Q. than caucasians.)
PC shouldn’t be allowed to trump science.
“(”there is no significant genetic difference and therefore all performance differences must be due to racism, which must be remedied”) isn’t turning out so well either. “
/// is correct. and spending billions to erase an “achievement gap” between caucasians and blacks, while ignoring the achievement gap between asians and whites, is simply wasting money on a false premise.
"The question on everyone's mind has always been whether the physically stronger Neanderthals, who possessed the gene for language and may have played the flute, ...."
Things that make one go hmmmm...
Is it a known absence or just one that wasn't looked for or no results, either positive or negative, were found. Also looking at the muscular structure of Neanderthals, it might be mating of Neanderthal females to Cro-Magnon males (Oooga likes that you have two eyebrows. You just hold still little man...)
God? I thought Paul said that.
I don’t mean to imply in the least that poor achievement in African descendants is attributable to “racism”.
However, there are many of African ancestry who have higher abilities than you or I, particularly athletic and musical abilities.
It’s time to celebrate our differences, not try to eradicate them, while recognizing our common humanity.
Hey, if I remember correctly, “valuing differences” was a Liberal idea. Whatever happened to that?
> God? I thought Paul said that.
Yes, of course, you must not believe that the Holy Spirit of God was inspiring Paul’s speech.
If you believe the Bible, then you believe we have a common ancestor.
That was the old theory. The new theory is that modern humans met up with neanderthals, and apparently interbred with them, before the pure neanderthals died out.
Maybe we should go back and ponder the significance of Genesis 6 1:8
I just looked and yep that was Paul not God and
http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=G129&t=KJV
Strong’s G129 - haima
1) blood
a) of man or animals
b) refers to the seat of life
c) of those things that resemble blood, grape juice
2) blood shed, to be shed by violence, slay, murder
Life is in the blood for both animals and man. Very generic. Nothing about ancestry.
Soknter...out loud!
So Canadians are stupid enough to pay for these worthless junk science studies, too. I guess that proves they are Neanderthals.
