I promise you I'm so calm. I'm sitting here filing medical claims and listening to my jams on Pandora.

I'm in it to win it.

I fell off with that game again. I get stuck in weird situations that I don't have the right weapons/armor for and don't feel like backtracking.

Dota2 gets any of my free time these days.

Posing the question regarding the tribe isolated with the weaker immune systems.

Do we consider the British royal family their own specific race by staying in the same gene pool?

What I've gathered from this thread is

We all started in Africa as one race
Moved out.
Due to survival of the fittest and adapting to our surroundings, groups of people living in similar locations began to develop similar physical attributes because they were breeding with people similarly adapted.....
(seems to be this is basis for what you rascists want to call race ;))
Despite people in non connected locations also developing the same attributes that would be used to define another specific race.
Then life became easier, allowing lots more variation of attributes within each proposed race.
Then people began to migrate and breed with others outside of those proposed races.
Further obscuring any specific attributes that those proposed races would have.
To the point where in today's world the percentage of differences inside of each proposed race are actually larger then it would be with other proposed races.

So if in the beginning we came from one race.

Merely interbred and adapted to get specific attributes

And then mixed it all back up again.

To the point where you cannot with any degree of real scientific accuracy define any particular race.

How the hell is race truly anything but a social construct?

Nice. Race being a social construct has probably triggered more differences than it would have as a biological one. Leigh @Leigh is an elf, @Kirk is a goblin chieftain I am high.

Don Lemon has a rare genuine moment on CNN. And Morgan Freeman pretty much nails the analysis.

lol...

Leigh is not stubborn, his fundamentalist opinions on the topic are changed every few years...

he used to think yes, then converted to no and imo, will be forced to swap back to yes based an upcoming scientific advancement

who is disagreeing that it is?

I am not aware of anyone on this thread that does not consider race a social construct

that's a good thing. Your views should always be evolving as new information is gained.

Well in that video posted above the one im quoting here you have a people who are routinely exposed to more disease and bacteria than any other on earth IE Indians coming into regular contact with these lost tribes on the Andaman Islands and low and behold they havent wiped them off the face of the planet like some predicted (NGO, the dickhead trying to sell newspapers in the same video)

Seems like there is a race, the human race.....
