But if race was just a myth, then specific breeds of cats and dogs would be impossible to maintain.

LOL ....that is also funny. The reason those breeds are, what word did you use, 'maintained,' is because stringent breeding is carried out. IT is the same thing in cock breeding, pigeon breeding (you should check that one out ...so many types have been bred, including some with vivid plummage, twisted beaks, even some that cannot fly), and so on! Basically the breeders (be they dog, cat, horse, pigeon) mate those animals with traits they desire.

To put it simply if i take Shaquille ONeal, and make him reproduce with a tall WNBA player, their offspring will most probably be tall. Now, if i mate that child with the offspring of Michael Jordan and another WNBA player, and i do the same for let's say 3 to 4 generations, i will start to consistently get a remarkably tall child. That is what they do for dogs, pigeons etc. The only problem with humans is sexual maturity takes too long.

Actually the best specimen for such a study is the Drosophila fly, which matures sexually very quickly and hence can have very many generations very quickly.

Negated!

And if you took Michael Jordan, Danny Devito, Shaquille ONeal, and Michaeal J. Fox, and let them walk down the street, they would spell Lili. (Thanks to Jay Leno, I think.)

And what do you think I meant by "maintained"? Are you blind or can you not understand English?

Exactly! So much for nurture and environment.

Generations of what? Perhaps we can follow your illusion and nurture the offspring into something else.

Whatever you say, Einstein.

And different "breeds" or races of humans are maintained because it is human nature to mate with people who look alike or act alike. Human nature causes this stringent breeding and that is why we have races.

Not to mention, you can't just choose and enforce mates for humans....
