Segregation Returns to US Schools

[Tuuvi]

The physical differences are obvious and non-negotiable. To then claim that our brains would be the same is, to say the least, stretching imagination to its fullest.

SERIOUSLY guys, different living conditions leads to different evolution. That is pure fact, and I honestly don't get how or why people would argue against it.

Why should there be differences in our brains, when we are all the same species? Humans everywhere, regardless of "race" or ethnicity, possess culture, language, and social bonds. We have have all practiced or practice some form of farming, gathering, or herding in order to obtain food.

American Indians invented agriculture, urban settlements, writing, organized religion, and states ruled by hereditary monarchs, all without any influence from the Old World whatsoever.

I asked you earlier what would have pressured some groups to evolve higher intelligence than others and you didn't answer me. Surely intelligence would be just as important to an African hunter as it would be to an Asian farmer. In order to live in a harsh environment such as the Kalahari you would need to possess an intimate knowledge of animal behavior, which plants are edible or have medicinal value, when and where they grow, where to find water to drink, how to build shelter and make tools out of the available resources, and so on.

And besides all this, the simple fact of the matter is Homo Sapiens has not evolved into genetically distinct groups. This is what scientists mean when they say there is no such thing as biological race. I think this can be hard to understand (it was for me), because you can usually tell what part of the world someone's ancestors came from just by looking at them. I think this website does a pretty good job of explaining why the concept of race has no bearing on human genetics.
