Historically, when humans have drawn lines of identity—separating Us from Them—they’ve often relied on skin color as a proxy for race. But the 21st-century understanding of human genetics tells us that the whole idea of race is a human invention.
Modern science confirms “that the visible differences between peoples are accidents of history”—the result of mutations, migrations, natural selection, the isolation of some populations, and interbreeding among others, writes science journalist Elizabeth Kolbert. They are not racial differences because the very concept of race—to quote DNA-sequencing pioneer Craig Venter—“has no genetic or scientific basis.”

Re: Time to bin "race" as a Scientific Concept.
Never liked that mag. Too expensive and aimed at the sort of science nobs who irritate by being grammar fascists in their spare time. Give me New Scientist any day. Saying that I must be one of the few people to have a digitized back catalog of National Geographic kicking about, albeit in pieces and neglected. I'll examine it for racialism's now I'm aware of what to look for to incriminate the ancient rag.
What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?

The National Geographic Channel was voted off our cable along with Fox. We have over 100 channels on our cable so it got pretty low.

We should use the term "breed" instead of "race".
"I have a new boyfriend" - "What breed is he?"

Re: Time to bin "race" as a Scientific Concept.
New Scientist became clickbait a decade ago. Having said that, I've hardly read anything of theirs for a few years now, so they could have cleaned up their act. Somehow I doubt it, though.cronus wrote:Never liked that mag. Too expensive and aimed at the sort of science nobs who irritate by being grammar fascists in their spare time.

National Geographic - my first stroke book. They showed tits. Second was the Sears catalog, no tits but drawings of women in night gowns and slips.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Yeah I was a fan of African and Amerindian tits when I was a lad.

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
