do not respond the same way to male and female hormones, plus homosexuals (some of who might have a biological basis for their preferences, although the science is still a bit unresolved). So actually even in the well separated cases like men and women, there is still huge overlap. And in other species it is even worse because there are more than 2 sexes, and sexes can change over the animal's lifetime etc. But I agree that races are sort of vague arbitrary directions with big error bars on them, in a very high dimensional space.--

Well men and women are a lot different than the difference between races. The genetic differences between men and women and structural differences are immense. There are also a huge variety of different types of intersex individuals (maybe a percent or two of the population), plus people whose bodies

Hi. I saw the comment you posted on Night Gyr's talkpage, 02:01, 7 December 2006 (UTC), saying "Please don't delete just trying to change the name to solve a conflict among editors."

5. It can be very difficult to determine race by "inspection" in many cases. If there are a significant number of strange exceptions, like genetic distance between
Africans and Europeans being closer than the genetic distance between Maoris and Africans, then the concept of race starts to mean less.

Your posting of the vandalism warning occurred a couple of days after I made my last edit, and my last edit got reverted by somebody who did not like the content I supplied. So unless you went back in the history of the article to find out the edits I made you wouldn't even be aware of them. And,

We already know that most of us are predominantly descended from people that settled on one of the major geographic areas and we also know that certain physical characteristics (i.e. nappy hair) make it very obvious what part of the world one is from. A few people have much more complex genetic

Looks like it's already gone. I'd suggest getting consensus on the talk page to split the article, but given the emotive nature of this topic that might be difficult. Again - nothing personal - just the article looked a bit suspect, especially at that title.

Why do I say race is a load of nonsense: 1. Well even though it has some historical relevance, my understanding is that a lot of the conclusions drawn before based on race (lower IQ, greater sex drive, etc) have not really stood up to scientific scrutiny.

3. There can be some structural differences (like the distribution of fast and slow twitch muscles), but this becomes muddled when there is migration and interbreeding thrown into the mix. Then there are the exceptions and outliers to also consider.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but putting up a vandalism warning on somebody's page without even specifying what the supposedly vandalistic edit was is certainly not easily understood behavior. It is likely to be interpreted as hostile.

I think studying genetic characteristics and untangling some of the migrations and interbreeding is far more likely to help us understand human history and capabilities than if a given group of people have nappy hair or not.

I think the trend in the data over the last few decades has been to make race look weaker and weaker. There is recent results about the "junk DNA" that have just come in that might reverse this trend. We will just have to

There's huge overlap between men and women too but that doesn't mean sexes don't exist. There's overlap between different animals too. Races represent central tendencies, not discrete mutually exclusive categories.

2. Even though there are some differences between different ethnic groups in terms of genetics, there is a huge overlap of the distributions. The within-group variance is larger than the between group variances.
