That is how evolution works.
If you believe that shit.
I don't. I reject it in entirety. Adaptation,, I can accept. Evolution is bullshit from conception.

No, that's what they're referring to. Those that want it to mean something else specify. The aforementioned Steven Pinker, for example.
You're a moron.If you believe that shit.

Yes. Pinker believes in equality as a moral imperative and a legal construct, but he is a race realist/hereditarian. His work on it is really stellar. If you're actually interested in learning about this topic (which I doubt), you should read his work.
That is what happened, idiot.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed
No. Genes are plastic to the environment. They change over time, and change differently depending on the environment. Also, all non-African races have neanderthal admixture in their DNA, which causes further differentiation. Of course there's no "European genetics" in the sense that putting an individual in Europe results in a change in DNA, but no one has ever argued that. Not in the history of this debate.So you agree with me then.
What you're saying now is exactly what I've been saying. There is no gene unique to Europe or anywhere else. It is therefore not true that "European genetics came about when the people living there adapted to their environment." Those "European genetics" already existed before that time in the gene pool.
BLM is gonna try to disrupt the MN state fair on the 29th. Should I go?
It's not seperate for lots of people. That's why Pinker specifies that his egaliatarianism has nothing to do with biology. Gould, Diamond and others don't do that; they are biological egalitarians.OK. So he does not believe in the social construction of races, and he is an egalitarian.
So that supports what I said about how you used the label "egalitarian." It's totally separate from the belief in social construction of races.
Jefferson made it very clear that he believed in inherent differences between the races.Perhaps.. But I am in good company.
To some it is Self Evident.
You are woefully ignorant.
To say race is a social construct is to deny significant biological differences. If that's not your argument, then you're just being idiosyncratic and obtuse.
I'm putting the implications of your arguments into one sentence to illustrate how ridiculous they are. It's called "hyperbole", little boy. You don't know anything about this subject. It's like you just spout off things you've heard smart people say and hope against hope that something, anything sticks.
It doesn't show that! My God, you're an idiot!
This is exceedingly fucking simple.
WTF are you talking about? Being born in Africa is not the same thing as your genetic ancestry, you stupid little fucktard!
Do I really have to get this fucking remedial?
It looks like I do have to get this fucking remedial.
That is what happened, idiot.

I calls em like I sees em. Instead of compiling a list of posts of mine, why not actually, you know, educate yourself on the topic? I know, I know, I ask too much.I have to admit, you do have a way with words.
No. Genes are plastic to the environment. They change over time, and change differently depending on the environment.
But only within the limits of the genetic diversity that already exists within the starting population.
It's selective breeding, just like what people do with dogs. I can get a German Shepherd from two German Shepherds, or I can breed one from a population of a bunch of other breeds, just like the first German Shepherds came about, because all those other breeds have within their total genetic pool all of the genes necessary to get German Shepherds.
In post 198, when you agreed with what I said in post 196, you were right.
To some it is Self Evident.that all men are created equal
On what point do they differ with anything I've said?
, why not actually, you know, educate yourself on the topic? .
For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear.
First of all, the amount genes can change over time is vast. You say "within the limits of the genetic diversity that already exists" as though that's something against hereditarianism. A change in environment can have huge changes on the DNA of an organism over generations. Secondly, the neanderthal admixture that isn't present in Africans means there's also a fundamental difference, separate from the adaptation that occurred.But only within the limits of the genetic diversity that already exists within the starting population.
