You're ignoring the fact that the photo I posted is an aggregate of people. Not just solo comparisons.
Ok let's go with that. So you're using average skull size/shape with corresponding soft tissue features to separate races, right?

I've been insanely blunt in this thread. Why do you want me to repeat myself?

Ok

Drum roll.....

I present you two different races, based on the differences in the average skull size and shape:

Race 1



Race 2

That's an awfully unique sample pool if we're trying to be scientific about things.

No, actually I googled "Random Group Of People". Nothing unique about them. Any group of random people will have differences in average skull size and shape from another group of random people. Your agreed criteria for showing racial differences is arbitrary, demonstrating that race, by your definition at least, is not real.

First pic, back row, second and third from the left dudes have strikingly similar faces.

lol. We're talking about specific groups of people. Of course your search for "random group of people" will yield random results.

So these people with different sized skulls, must be from two different races, even though they are siblings.
Not that I'm in this but I get the impression "skull size" is a loose way of saying "relative skull size" or something to that effect.
I don't know what their genealogy is but they're a different breed than me but I think we could still be really good friends, they have very kind looking eyes imo.

Relative to what?

Relative skull size also varies massively within populations.

Populations?
A population of a town? city? country? what?
Exactly. Race is arbitrary. Whoever claims race is real can select the group of people they're categorising and that group will have varying proportional skull sizes (and other physical traits).
