  • as in- you don't think that there are races? or you don't think that the inherent differences in people- such as susceptibility to disease- have genetic backgrounds?

    I genuinely don't understand what you mean.

    If its that race cannot be defined by genetic means alone- maybe i can understand that, but to deny any genetic involvement is, in my mind, unsupportable.

    I think racial differences are 'spectral' (for want of a better term) - they flow from group to group (unless a group has been isolated for an extended period, but even here the tangent is only temporal but still related) so it's pointless to point to one group and claim this as a distinct race when on either side the spectrum spreads out.

    Hope that makes sense, I am drunk, I have eaten a whole bottle of Blossom Hill.
