how am i butthurt? arguing that the usage of the word to distinguish people of different ethnicity doesn't exist is patently absurd. i'm actually pretty amused.

Over time adaptation took place to increase or decrease the amount of melanin production by skin cells, which shield the organelles of the cell from UV radiation, preventing skin cancer. This takes energy to accomplish, and is only done if needed.

In climates where there is more UV radiation (sunny), over time, those with more expression calls in the structure of their DNA survive and thrive, changing the skin tone of the group to be darker over time.

Conversely, in climates where UV radiation isn't a problem, individuals with less expression calls for melanin in their DNA do just as well, and because of that the DNA of the group is less concentrated towards melanin production as a whole, lightening skin over time.

The genes, however, are still there.

Proof is something called a sun tan.

Also proof is that there is more genetic disparity within so-called "racial groups" than there is between them.

Also, lol at your "it would take tens of thousands of years for blah blah blah" Of course it would. Just.. LOL.

Fuck off ya mentally shrewish lout.

the fact that any definition at all exists in the dictionary is all the proof that i need that race (e.g. the concept of race as a means of distinguishing people based on genetically heritable appearances such as ethnicity) exists. we should really find something more constructive to talk about, like whether or not these concepts are valid.

HBB, you're incorrect about whether there is a genetic basis for race. The idea that there is no genetic basis for race is an outdated concept with roots in fear of racism. There clearly is genetic basis for race. That's not to say that there's a "Black gene" or a "White gene" or an "Asian gene", but there are sets of genetic expressions that lend themselves to peoples of a certain ancestry -- read: race -- more than others.

The most significant genetic differences are between Eurasian, African, and East Asian peoples. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...T2009062200350

Yet it's still possible to find genetic nuance within those populations. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/13/sc...in&oref=slogin
