@First name last name Individuality sucks.

@@_robustus_ Unless you're talking about haplogroups such as "R1b1b1a1" or "D/G/M9/E", "race" is socially constructed. Terms like "white" or "black" have no scientific meaning and in many cases the distinction is arbitrary and based on cultural, religious, and linguistic factors. Terms like "Asian" are even less meaningful.

@Vasian Vasianich I'm not Christian, and neither are most anthropologists and geneticists who agree with me. Racial groups as we understand them are not scientific, they're culturally constructed. There are different genetic groupings of people but they don't neatly correspond to ideas of "white", "black", "latino", "asian" etc.

It's simple if your people don't have a genome there not a race, they are just a Y chromosome breed. I.E there are different breeds of dog because they have different Y chromosome but none are a unique race, they are all part of the wolf race, because they all have the wolf chromosome, only other canids like foxes and dingo's or the wild dogs of Africa have there own chromosomes and thus are there own race.

The RU-vid channel named 'Atlas Pro' also has a nice video wherein he called into question the very idea\definition\concept of this nomenclature ''species''. His video_upload is titled as ''''Why species don't exist'''' or something. There, in that video of his, he has used the example of '''ring species''' {specifically the example of Ensantina Salamanders} to substantiate his alibi.

@@Yajna007 I've seen that video, and it's interesting, but academic Cladism has a deep bullpen of opponents it has to face, so it has to be very circumspect and careful in its claims. The general gist is that defining species by procreative success entails that species of the same genera usually have some hope of success, especially when closer in time and geography to the radiation point. This means that "species" can become a redactive and unnecessarily limiting element when attempting to explain the historical radiation within the genus. It obscures facts by preventing the researcher from recognizing that genetic inheritance flows in the population are following patterns they think can't exist.

There´s a difference between cultural history and natural history. I can trace my family back to 1500, and even in this short period, my ancestors lived all over Europe.

Makes sense

The X and R haplogroups found among tribes the northern parts of North America are thought to have originated from the Altai region. The Sioux have upwards of 25% Caucasian genetics according to testing. Their are a few issues with that though. DNA testing needs pure test samples and it is assumed that these tribes are pure when they are not. Tribes don't work like that. we absorbed everything we came into contact with and tribes migrated a lot. A tribes genetics include every tribe they have mixed with as well as every tribe those tribes mixed with. both before and after arriving here. there were multiple migrations into the Americas from different places at different times to complicate matters further and not all genetics are included when mapping. Then there's also the issues with DNA testing itself which is unreliable for several reasons. first being the lack of knowledge in how DNA is transferred which is a variable and cannot be tested accurately. Being "half and half" doesn't mean you will have 50/50 split genetics and it doesn't mean you will test positive for all the genetics that your parents have either. The second being that genetics change over time with people as they migrate and mix. This is why DNA testing needs a lot of "pure" people as test samples. Even they won't have identical DNA but by comparing them you can get a slightly more accurate picture based on what is shared or "most common" among them. so basically the only thing a DNA test can do accurately is tell you which continent you're from (MAYBE) and if you contain admixture from another racial group. When it comes to natives in the Americas culture is probably one of the more accurate measures of heritage. Take southeastern tribes for example. We are genetically "Mesoamerican" and that is reflected in cultural and genetic ties shared between us and other tribes in central and South America. However their are some cultural ties that aren't reflected in genetic testing such as our connections to southern Asia. It is widely believed that we all crossed from Siberia but our folks used blowguns which spread from tribes in Malaysia. Blowguns never made it any further north than southern China. Somehow a relatively large migration of Southern Asians made it to the Americas by sea it and nobody wants to acknowledge that. There's also been Australoid and Austronesian genetics found here as well as a gene that originates from the first migration that is shared among all tribes here except those from the northern parts of North America. And to top it all off the oldest known DNA found in the Americas was found in Montana and is linked exclusively to southern Asia. Thus meaning that "first migration" gene originates from Southern Asians that arrived here in South America and began spreading north (as again that gene is entirely absent from tribes above the canadian border but present among their relations who moved further south and absorbed genetics from earlier arrivals). But again the DNA side of that argument can be disputed because DNA is constantly fluctuating. It's not as difficult to see the difference between racial groups but testing two groups of people within the same race is pretty hard when you factor in admixture and the fact that they share like 99.9% of their DNA to begin with lol.

@Anglia Alba well Turkic some of them look like whites and some of them look east Asain, ist a race Native Americans not gonna even try they are basically whipped out and sub Saharan African from horn of Africa to West and nilotic they are quite different and asains, south Asian and east asain look significantly different. So let's keep it simple THERE ARE THREE RACES BLACK YELLOW AND WHITE

@Anglia Alba * Sub-Saharan Africans * Western Eurasians * Eastern Eurasians * Southern Eurasians

​@Anglia Alba - Georgians, Armenians and Lebanese: "European" or "Middle-Eastern/North African/Turkic"? - Kazakhs, Uzbeks and Azerbaijanis: "European", "ME/NA/Turkic" or "Asian"? - Afghans: presumably "ME/NA/Turkic", but some have blonde hair/blue eyes (like Europeans) and some have epicanthic folds like more eastern Asians. again they definitely don't fit "cleanly" into those boxes. - Ethiopians, Somalians, Eritreans: "ME/NA/Turkic" or "Sub-Saharan African"? - Burmese: "Indian Sub-continent" or "Asian"? - Indonesians, Indigenous Taiwanese, Micronesians: "Asian" or "Pacific Islander"? These are not very clean groups at all; however this should not be surprising, as geographic genetic diversities between groups of people tend to occur along continuums, rather than in discrete jumps. In other words, there is no inherent way to categorize people into intuitive groups

True I realy want to talk about this mass extinction event because it brought forth a very distinct unique trait in humans hunter gatheres living in central africa and Southern africa. Have you ever heard of the trait leathery skin found in indeginous groups from pygmy peoples to hottentots also sanbushmen. Leathery skin is adaptation to the hot climate that occured during 14000BC to 10000BC its a adaptation to heat causing skin cells to proliferate faster than what you would find in a other human beings causing this unique trait termed as learthery skin. I have learthery skin.
