Is There A Sound Basis For Racial Profiling?

Sorry for the site but it made me puke.

Actually, if it were racist propaganda, it would show the Australoid and African populations as having less difference fromm the chimp than "more evolved" races.

That's correct. Except, the term "more evolved races" hasn't been used in learned circles for many decades.

When we read luminaries such as Richard Dawkins, we see 2 things in this respect:

a) We are no more "evolved" than leopards, wolves, chimpanzees, conifers or bees. We have simply evolved in a different direction. Galaxian prefers the term "Natural Selection", because it has no pejorative insinuation. In other words different genes have been selected in humans than in leopards, wolves, chimps, conifers, or bees. Remember, Chimpanzees did not exist 7 million years ago, our common ancestor did. We did not evolve from chimps. Both of us evolved from our common ancestor that was as evolved as we are, but for different attributes.

b) Dawkins fully accepts that there are human races, and that they are different enough to be called subspecies (Read "The Ancestors Tale"). But he makes nothing of it, no big deal, EXACTLY as Galaxian & PH. It's no big deal
