I think this ispolitical corectness driving science.

Its now politically correct to emphasize the similarity between the races and this theory does exactly that.

In reality, skin pigmentation is only a suerficial distinction between “black” “white” and “oriental” humans.

There are much more defining characteristics and traits linked to bone structure and biochemistry and genetics.

And there are some “whites” who have darker skin than some “blacks”

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. Nobody's claiming that there aren't genetic differences between people of different races. However, every available study shows that genetic differences within races are greater than genetic differences between races. That makes race a very suspect measure of genetic variance.

Actually the most defining characteristic would be genetics and that suggests that race is mostly a product of our imaginations.
