    Absolutely correct, the myth of race has not served humanity well. But unfortunately, human nature is such, they'd find another reason to hate. Poverty also has nothing to do with it. Anyone can end up poor. Most people just a paycheck away from being homeless - or a freak accident away from becoming disabled.

    • @LilKing420s
      @LilKing420s Před 4 lety +6

      With all due respect, I suggest that human nature is no less a myth than race. We are all only the products of the environments in which we are raised. We are not born knowing hate or racism or even love. They are all learned from our parents and the others around us. Our various different cultures gives each of us morals and values of whatever culture we happen to be born into. Where you happen to plop out of the womb has a profound effect on the opportunities available to you as you begin life. Consider that today still, 2 of every 3 humans on Earth must live on less than $10 per day and I assure you that is not by choice. Poverty has everything to do with it, not nothing.

    It's not a myth. It's a beautiful and observable phenomenon, and it is not observable in an indirect or difficult way, it is easily observable for everybody. The debate on expelling the word 'race' from our vocabulary is not based in science and empirical evidence, it is based in feelings and emotions about the word, the unspeakable word. And race is not limited to the colour of your skin!

      Actually, the myth of race was invented by Europeans as a way to explain their innate "superiority" over other people. Before them, there were no races. It was only "nationality". How can you group together an entire continent as one human "race", it doesn't make sense and isn't supported biologically. You base "race" off of hair texture, hair color, skin color, eye size, and what else? How do those features make a "race", those are just inherited phenotypical traits? What you're saying is illogical and isn't rooted in science.

      Darker skinned people don't get enough vit D when they move to environments with less UV radiation, e.g. the US (particularly the north). UV is involved in vit D production, light skin allows more 'in'. Skin became lighter over millenia as people migrated north bc it benefitted survival. Inuit though had huge vit D dietary intake so therefore less survival benefit of lighter skin.

    Race is as real in humans as with any other living thing,… and it relates to geographical morphological history, genetic clustering, and how genes express themselves in peoples.
    Your mention of skin color, Darwin, sociological problems, hate, love,…. show's your on the wrong track of thought,… you're on a sociological agenda of denying differences of human history as it shows in historical population genetic morphologies, which are distinctly different from other populations.

      @@maverick9708 The sickle cell trait was not isolated to a "race" of people but is geographically defined to areas where Malaria is present. The sickle-cell trait is believed to be protective against malaria. Thus, sickle-cell disease is at its highest frequency in West Africans and people of West African descent. But this trait is not common in other regions of Africa, where malaria is not as prevalent. Therefore, it is not an “African” disease. Sickle cell also appears in other regions of the globe, in other human populations, including populations in the Mediterranean Basin, the Arabian Peninsula, and on the Indian subcontinent, where these populations also saw this adaptation to resist malaria.

When you answer those questions, then you will understand what it means to have a social divide. Biology doesn't have any difference in our species. Ok? Human beings are one species not multiple species' hence no different race. I hope that is clear.

      @@kayluvsexy The only clear thing in your comment is your confusion. Do you actually know the biological definitions of species and subspecies and races? What makes you think there was no concept of race before trans-Atlantic slavery? Do you think the Romans and Greeks had no concept of 'race'? Do you think gravity was not real before some human had a 'conception' of gravity? So if biology has "no difference in our species" how could you spot a Swede on a plane full of Chinese? I note that you didn't answer that question - too hard for you? You have not thought this through for yourself. Scientists have no problem defining numerous races in hundreds of thousands of species but you seem to think that humans are somehow removed from the process of evolution while all other species are subject to it. Is that what you think? That humans haven't evolved? That we aren't evolving?

    See that map? There is no one in North and South America. It supports the idea that indigenous people migrated through the Bering Strait, a myth presented by The Catholic Church that Indigenous are son's of Shem, Mongoloid's. That no one was here is a myth intending to erase the original people from history so that colonization can occur. To debate the humanity of the original people by the Church and Empires only facilitated colonization and colonialism. That is the origin of race as decreed by Papal Bull 1493, Alexander VI. This guy may need to revisit his research because his talk perpetuates the myth of race. The whole talk has lost all credibility.
