Race Is A Biological Reality: Your Opinion Is A Social Construct

The main reason people are afraid to admit there are differences among the races -or even admit that race is a biological reality and not a social construct- is because it conjures up sentiments of ‘superiority’ and reminds people of Hitler’s Germany.

They think, “Well, if there are racial differences, then that means that some races are better than others, and I don’t want to go there.”  It’s better to just ignore any differences and acquiesce to the pressure of their peers and claim we are all exactly the same; we are all one.

Scientists and professors are human. We all make mistakes. Rather than admit the truth about race, they prefer to ignore the vast amount of evidence on racial differences, mostly so they don’t have to live in fear of potentially being called a ‘racist’.

The following are peer reviewed studies that suggest that there exists many differences among the various races of mankind.  If you want to call me a racist, that’s fine, you can do so in the comments but facts are facts.


The Genetic/Biological Basis of Racial Differences

 

Philosophy of Science That Ignores Science: Race, IQ and Heritability (National Academy of Sciences)

Philosophers of science widely believe that the hereditarian theory about racial differences in IQ is based on methodological mistakes and confusions involving the concept of heritability. I argue that this “received view” is wrong: methodological criticisms popular among philosophers are seriously misconceived, and the discussion in philosophy of science about these matters is largely disconnected from the real, empirically complex issues debated in science.

“It’s a concept we think is too crude to provide useful information, it’s a concept that has social meaning that interferes in the scientific understanding of human genetic diversity and it’s a concept that we are not the first to call upon moving away from,” said Michael Yudell, a professor of public health at Drexel University in Philadelphia.

Brain size matters

http://www.euvolution.com/articles/brainsize.html

Brain size, IQ, and racial-group differences: Evidence from musculoskeletal traits

“A review of the world literature on brain size and IQ by Rushton [Rushton, J. P. (1995). Race, evolution, and behavior: a life history perspective. New Brunswick, NJ: Transaction] found that African-descended people (Blacks) average cranial capacities of 1267 cm3, European-descended people (Whites) 1347 cm3, and East Asian-descended people (East Asians) 1364 cm3. These brain size differences, containing millions of brain cells and hundreds of millions of synapses, were hypothesized to underlie the race differences on IQ tests, in which Blacks average an IQ of 85, Whites 100, and East Asians 106……….Across the three populations, the “ecological correlations” [Jensen, A. R. (1998). The g factor. Westport, CT: Praeger] between brain size and the 37 morphological traits averaged a remarkable r = .94; ρ = .94. If the races did not differ in brain size, these correlations could not have been found. It must be concluded that the race differences in average brain size are securely established. As such, brain size-related variables provide the most likely biological mediators of the race differences in intelligence.

Genes for susceptibility to violence lurk in the brain (National Academy of Sciences)

  The political, social, or economic causes of violence are well studied, but more recently the awareness has grown that biological causes, which may explain individual differences in predisposition to violence, also need to be investigated. … A wealth of twin and adoption studies confirms that individual differences in violent/antisocial behavior are heritable (5). It is unlikely that genes directly code for violence; rather, allelic variation is responsible for individual differences in neurocognitive functioning that, in turn, may determine differential predisposition to violent behavior.”

Bone Marrow Donor Matching for Patients of Mixed Race

“At a time when the number of multiracial Americans is rising, only a tiny fraction of donors on the national bone-marrow registry are of mixed race. The National Marrow Donor Program is trying to change that by seeking more diverse donors for patients suffering from leukemia, lymphoma and other blood diseases.

“The truth is, when people of different backgrounds marry and produce offspring, it creates more types that are harder to match,” said Michelle Setterholm, the program’s director of scientific services. “The probability just gets lower when you have people of mixed ancestral DNA.”

The myth that we are 99.9% the same

It “can be some­thing close to pro­fes­sion­al sui­cide” for re­search­ers to even sug­gest race ex­ists, psy­chi­a­trist Sa­lly Sa­tel wrote in the Dec. 2001-Jan. 2002 is­sue of the mag­a­zine Pol­i­cy Re­view.

Sept. 3, 2007

Special to World Science .

A re­nowned sci­ent­ist has backed off a find­ing that he, joined by oth­ers, long touted as ev­i­dence for what they called a prov­en fact: that ra­cial dif­fer­ences among peo­ple are im­ag­i­nary.That idea—en­trenched to­day in ac­a­dem­ia, and of­ten used to cast­i­gate schol­ars who study race—has drawn much of its sci­en­tif­ic back­ing from a find­ing that all peo­ple are 99.9 per­cent ge­net­ic­ally alike.

But ge­net­icist Craig Ven­ter, head of a re­search team that re­ported that fig­ure in 2001, backed off it in an an­nounce­ment this week. He said hu­man varia­t­ion now turns out to be over sev­en times great­er than was thought… …In a tele­con­fer­ence on Mon­day, Ven­ter and col­leagues an­nounced their re­vised as­sess­ment of hu­man di­vers­ity, based on a study of Ven­ter’s own DNA. It was the first “diploid” ge­nome pub­lished to date, said Ven­ter and mem­bers of his re­search team at the J. Craig Ven­ter In­sti­tute in Rock­ville, Md. This means it was the first list­ing of the se­quence of let­ters of ge­net­ic code from both of a per­son’s chro­mo­some sets, the genes in­her­it­ed from the moth­er and the fa­ther.

The find­ings re­veal “hu­man-to-hu­man varia­t­ion is more than sev­en-fold great­er than ear­li­er es­ti­mates, prov­ing that we are in fact very un­ique in­di­vid­u­als at the ge­net­ic lev­el,” Ven­ter said. The 99.9 fi­gure might need to be lowered to about 99, he added. …The orig­i­nal es­ti­mate show­ing near-zero vari­abil­ity in the ge­nome, a prod­uct of the Hu­man Ge­nome Proj­ect, was a re­sult of the dif­fer­ent tech­nol­o­gy used for that work, said a col­league of Ven­ter’s, Ste­phen Scherer of the Hos­pi­tal for Sick Chil­dren in To­ron­to.

The tech­nique orig­i­nally used, Scherer said, could read the se­quence of let­ters of a ge­net­ic code. But it could­n’t de­tect repe­ti­tions of some parts of the code, which al­so oc­cur. Dif­fer­ences in the num­ber of these repe­ti­tions, called copy num­ber vari­ants, have since turned out to ac­count for much of the varia­t­ion in a species’ DNA.

Ever since researchers sequenced the chimp genome in 2005, they have known that humans share about 99% of our DNA with chimpanzees, making them our closest living relatives. 

http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2012/06/bonobos-join-chimps-closest-human-relatives

“A longstanding orthodoxy among social scientists holds that human races are a social construct and have no biological basis. A related assumption is that human evolution halted in the distant past, so long ago that evolutionary explanations need never be considered by historians or economists.

In the decade since the decoding of the human genome, a growing wealth of data has made clear that these two positions, never at all likely to begin with, are simply incorrect. There is indeed a biological basis for race. “

99%?

I think there tends to be a big mis-understanding of what that number means. When you hear that number you assume that 99% of the information in each person is the same. But we don’t understand how much or how the DNA molecule stores information.

When they say “same DNA”, generally they are talking about the sequence of amino acids are 99% the same. But we have VERY LITTLE IDEA how information is stored in them and what the limitations or lack of limitations in that information are. We know that the same code can store vastly different information -David Kincade

You may have heard that humans are 99.9% the same as each other. Well, not anymore.

New research is showing that we are less alike than this. There isn’t an exact number yet but the new number is probably somewhere between 99.0 and 99.9%.

Most studies indicate that when genomic regions are compared between chimpanzees and humans, they share about 98.5 percent sequence identity.

Given the very strong similarity between the chimpanzee and human genomes, many people wonder how we can be so different. At this point, there have been only a few isolated examples of genes that are functionally present in chimpanzees but not in humans, and vice versa. Thus, chimps and humans may share as many as 99.9 percent of the same genes with most of those genes being 99 percent similar in their sequences.

Relatively small genetic changes can produce major phenotypic changes.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-does-the-fact-that-w/

We have generated an independently assembled diploid human genomic DNA sequence from both chromosomes of a single individual (J. Craig Venter). Our approach, based on whole-genome shotgun sequencing and using enhanced genome assembly strategies and software, generated an assembled genome over half of which is represented in large diploid segments (>200 kilobases), enabling study of the diploid genome. Comparison with previous reference human genome sequences, which were composites comprising multiple humans, revealed that the majority of genomic alterations are the well-studied class of variants based on single nucleotides (SNPs). However, the results also reveal that lesser-studied genomic variants, insertions and deletions, while comprising a minority (22%) of genomic variation events, actually account for almost 74% of variant nucleotides. Inclusion of insertion and deletion genetic variation into our estimates of interchromosomal difference reveals that only 99.5% similarity exists between the two chromosomal copies of an individual and that genetic variation between two individuals is as much as five times higher than previously estimated. The existence of a well-characterized diploid human genome sequence provides a starting point for future individual genome comparisons and enables the emerging era of individualized genomic information.

Youtube Playlist – Race: Unique Expressions of Mankind

In Conclusion

 

“Race affects every physical characteristic, from height, to muscle mass, skull shape to average intelligence. Race also has serious medical implications. If a doctor treated all races the same, he would be sued for malpractice. Bone marrow transplants must be from someone of similar heritage, or their body will reject it, and the patient will die.  Your race determines your likelihood for a variety of diseases including HIV/AIDSMultiple Sclerosisdiabeteshypertensionsickle cell anemia, and many others. Some diseases are almost exclusive to one race, and organizations have been set up to test engaged couples of that race for prevalence.” -source

 

 If race doesn’t exist and it is merely a social construct, then how can criminologists identity the race of the victim by their skull or DNA?  And what about all the other evidence cited for the differences among the races?

 

The answer is inescapable; it’s because race is not a social construct, but a biological reality.

    is IQ like adiposity, blood pressure, insulin sensitivity, cholesterol, etc. or is it like height? the former have been found to be as heritable as IQ in some studies, yet there is a known environmental change such that none will be fat, there will be no high blood pressure, no high cholesterol, no type ii diabetes. it works for everyone. http://www.pnas.org/content/101/17/6659.full

    this is the yuge problem with the heritability statistic. it is just a correlation. though the heritability figure may vary little, the genes responsible may. a given heritability figure applies only to the population under study at a particular time in a particular place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_norm

    specifically, heritability is square of the coeffecient of G in the planar approximation to the P(G, E) surface. P = hG + sqrt(1 – h^2)E. here P = phenotype, G = genes, E = environment, h^2 = heritability.

    there is no reason to suppose that the P(G, E) surface is planar, but like all smooth surfaces it can be approximated by a plane within a small region defined by small ranges of environment and genes.

    now you understand more than any of the behavior genetics folks. and those philosophers who have investigated this concept understand it better than and psychologist. psychology professors are dumb.

  2. jorge videla (bgi volunteer)

    when it is said “race is a social construct” this doesn’t mean it isn’t biological also. it’s just a way of saying, “race isn’t what racists think it is.” it’s stupid, i agree. as species of mammals go humans have very little genetic variation. chimps in the same troop can be more distant genetically than a swede and a hottentot. this is because humans are a recent species. it is also hypothesized that at some time long after the first human there was a population bottleneck. that is, the species nearly went extinct.

    • That has been debunked in the article. Just because there is little variation between one set of genes, does not mean there are not huge differences between the races. Read the part on 99%.. ——99%?
      I think there tends to be a big mis-understanding of what that number means. When you hear that number you assume that 99% of the information in each person is the same. But we don’t understand how much or how the DNA molecule stores information.

  3. I agree there are physical differences between the different ‘races’, but really we are part of the same HUMAN race. For example: dogs are dogs – they are different breeds, but can mate and produce fertile offspring between breeds. Humans are humans: there are different “races” (breeds), but they can mate and produce fertile offspring. We are all one human race having a spiritual experience on planet earth.

    • That is called the naturalistic fallacy; just because something can be done in nature does not mean it should be done. Take mules for example. They are a combination of horses and donkeys. They can mate, but the offspring (mule) is fertile for the most part. Nature has a way of correcting mistakes. As in the case with different races mating, their offspring is less healthy, has psychologoical issues, etc. It goes on and on. The evidence for these claims is in the article.

  4. Actually, mules are usually “IN”fertile. Only in very rare instances are mules fertile. So do you claim that any hybrid offspring, such as mules, are less healthy and deal with psychological issues? Well it turns out there’s such a thing as heterosis, or “hybrid vigor.” Mules are a great examples as they actually tend to be healthier, bearing a longer lifespan and more “intelligence” than their parent species.

    • Yes, thank you, I did mean to say INfertile there. As far as hybrid vigor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterosis it seems that inbreeding is unhealthy, and so is outbreeding too when there are major differences between the two mates. This is the case with mules and why nature made it unfruitful. God made us all different. Miscegenation has been known to be not only unhealthy but morally wrong for thousands of years. It’s only after all the propaganda that is shoved down our throats that we are second guessing our common sense.

  5. It really depends. I’d argue inbreeding, especially in humans, is far worse than miscegenation within our species. Mules may be infertile, but still doesn’t change the fact they benefit from hybrid vigor. There are reasons why mules are bred in the first place by ranchers; they’re physically more resilient, hardened, healthier, wittier, more independent, longer lifespan, etc. than their parent species as I mentioned earlier. So there are definitely advantages to hybridization and while fertility may be an issue, they can still be bred so long as their parent species keep reproducing with each other. Then of course, there are hybrids between species or subspecies that are definitely fertile, especially when it comes to plants.

    Now since your post is based on the idea that race is such an objective biological concept as if we’re not all the same species, well fertility is obviously not an issue when races mix as far as I’m concerned. We’re not that distantly related to each other. We’re still more closely related to each other than we are to Neanderthals.

  6. Before the advent of the Boasian Anthropology the different races were generally thought to be distinct sub-species much in the same way that there are different sub-species of fox or mice, etc. Political correctness and egalitarianism has changed this for the worse. We have to believe in the lie of equality.

    If all the different manifestations of a certain species amalgamated, then there would not be any diversity left to the species. Is this a good thing?

    If Blacks and Whites and Chinese all amalgamated the same would happen. There would be only one type of people, and not the different kinds of people that have existed for millennia, the different kinds of people that God made.

    As far as hybrid vigor, there seems to be some advantages, but the good does not outweigh the bad, which is why nature doesn’t let it happen. Why can’t mules procreate? Is it a coincidence, or does nature know what she’s doing.

    This article is about the negative effects of miscegenation concerning humans. The evidence is overwhelming. It also goes against common sense. Look up the definition of genocide according to the U.N. We are in the process of genociding certain peoples.

    Weigh the evidence, but don’t be stubborn as a mule in your evaluation. There is a reason we say ”healthy as a horse”, and not “healthy as a mule”, the mule, which is not capable of having offspring……

    Nature knows best, don’t fuck with it.

  7. You write: “but really we are part of the same HUMAN race.” For your information HUMANS are one species with many races.

  8. There is nothing unhealthy or damaging about people of mixed “race” marrying or having children. Any study, even if properly conducted , can be taken out of context or spun for a particular agenda. The mule analogy doesn’t hold because people of mixed “race” are fertile. And there is no danger of one “race” being bred out of existence because that would require everyone to breed with someone of a different “race” and that won’t happen. The claim that pharmerdavid is committing the natural fallacy agrgument is being used incorrectly because email protected is using that to prove his point which it does not. It is true that just because something occurs in nature that doesn’t always mean it is true or valid, but neither does it mean it is invalid. The DNA % argument doesn’t hold either. Look at the new science of epigenetics. The “blueprint” part of genes is a relatively small part. There is a great diversity in humanity, but we aren’t different species. The great spiritual teachers of the past (Jesus, Buddha, etc) say we are all one.

    • 1 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. Matthew 15

  9. When you repeatedly say, “God made us all different”, you have already proven that your opinions should be taken with a pinch of salt. How can you claim that without any scientific evidence? You must think that evolution is fake too, eh? I too know that races are a biological reality, but they’re not biological species. The very existence of fertile mixed-race individuals disproves claims made by idiots like you. Yes, there are visible anatomical differences between the 4 main races (Caucasoids, Negroids, Mongoloids and Australoids), and there may be some psychological ones too, but overall the mixed-race offspring are actually ‘uebermensch’ in the sense that they have repeatedly been shown to suffer from less genetic disorders, and are often more intelligent too, owing to their education in different cultures and languages. Dogs also come in various breeds/races, but why are the mongrels consistently much more smarter, healthier and less susceptible to genetic health problems than pedigrees? What you have written in this article is nothing but premium-grade idiocy of the highest order.

  10. Stop quoting the Bible to justify pseudoscientific claims, idiot. Jesus did not die for intellectual arsonists like you.

  11. I started to type a complex diatribe and referable sources, but decided to keep it simple. The lie woven on the planet is such a shame and disgrace. You are yet another Caucasian trying to feel comfortable in their own skin. How do you achieve this? create conclusions that serve your perspective. Especially when historically you’ve been better positioned to control the narrative. Okay, let’s start with you looking at studies and data not conducted by caucasians. Note what you discover. This also includes documentation and findings not taught at universities. Now, make it your purpose to research the origin of the IQ test, and you will have to look at its opposition data and research that as well. Most of what you are eloquently spouting in a written form are falsehoods. So many are being indoctrinated by the carefully constructed lie…it’s a disgrace.
