In addition, J. Craig Venter's statement has been shown to be false:
‘You can’t tell from looking at the human genome who is who other than who is male or female’, J. Craig Venter
You can actually tell quite a bit about the ancestry of the person involved. Statistically, different ancestry groups have significant differences in their genomes. Those differences lead to different traits that can be measured.
All of this is covered very well in "Human Diversity" The Biology of Gender, Race, and Class, by Charles Murray.
Murray doesn't make any claim about one race or group being superior to any other.
But there are clear, measurable differences in the genome which are expressed as clear measurable differences in statistical abilities of the groups.
Murray does show the enormous body of evidence from scientists working to uncover the secrets of the human genome.
He shows, quite clearly, the basic premise of Critical Race Theory (In a properly run society, people of all human groupings will have similar life outcomes) is false.
It is obviously false, because people of different groupings all have statistically significant differences in genetics, resulting in statistically significant differences in abilities.
Most people alive have known this is true from common observation, for millennia, for all of human existence. It is only the modern conceit of leftists that claim there is no significant genetic differences between groups of people. They are wrong.
The differences are not huge. They do not have to be huge. They only have to be enough to matter in preferences and abilities at statistical levels of importance.
Keep in mind this article was written 20 years ago.
Re your plaint. It sounds authoritative, but it’s pseudo-science, ie social science.
I can’t comment on the book you cite by Murray.
