An example of clear differences in biology. Simular small genetic differences make other animals a separate race. For an example, a lot of different pigeon races only have a genetic difference to change the color of their feathers

Roberts, Dorothy (2011). Fatal Invention. London, New York: The New Press. "The genetic differences that exist among populations are characterized by gradual changes across geographic regions, not sharp, categorical distinctions. Groups of people across the globe have varying frequencies of polymorphic genes, which are genes with any of several differing nucleotide sequences. There is no such thing as a set of genes that belongs exclusively to one group and not to another. The clinal, gradually changing nature of geographic genetic difference is complicated further by the migration and mixing that human groups have engaged in since prehistory. Human beings do not fit the zoological definition of race. A mountain of evidence assembled by historians, anthropologists, and biologists proves that race is not and cannot be a natural division of human beings."
Harrison, Guy (2010). Race and Reality. Amherst: Prometheus Books. "Race is a poor empirical description of the patterns of difference that we encounter within our species. The billions of humans alive today simply do not fit into neat and tidy biological boxes called races. Science has proven this conclusively. The concept of race (…) is not scientific and goes against what is known about our ever-changing and complex biological diversity."
Keita, S O Y; Kittles, Royal, Bonney, Furbert-Harris, Dunston, Rotimi; Royal, C D M; Bonney, G E; Furbert-Harris, P; Dunston, G M; Rotimi, C N (2004). "Conceptualizing human variation". Nature Genetics. 36 (11s): S17–S20. doi:10.1038/ng1455. PMID 15507998. "Modern human biological variation is not structured into phylogenetic subspecies ('races'), nor are the taxa of the standard anthropological 'racial' classifications breeding populations. The 'racial taxa' do not meet the phylogenetic criteria. 'Race' denotes socially constructed units as a function of the incorrect usage of the term."
Legal scholar Dorothy Roberts argues, "Edwards did not refute Lewontin's claim: that there is more genetic variation within populations than between them, especially when it comes to races. (…) Lewontin did not ignore biology to support his social ideology (…). To the contrary, he argued that there is no biological support for the ideological project of race." "The genetic differences that exist among populations are characterized by gradual changes across geographic regions, not sharp, categorical distinctions. Groups of people across the globe have varying frequencies of polymorphic genes, which are genes with any of several differing nucleotide sequences. There is no such thing as a set of genes that belongs exclusively to one group and not to another. The clinal, gradually changing nature of geographic genetic difference is complicated further by the migration and mixing that human groups have engaged in since prehistoric times. Race [however defined] collapses infinite diversity into a few discrete categories that in reality cannot be demarcated genetically."
Similarly, biological anthropologist Jonathan Marks agrees with Edwards that correlations between geographical areas and genetics obviously exist in human populations, but goes on to note that "What is unclear is what this has to do with 'race' as that term has been used through much in the twentieth century—the mere fact that we can find groups to be different and can reliably allot people to them is trivial. Again, the point of the theory of race was to discover large clusters of people that are principally homogeneous within and heterogeneous between, contrasting groups. Lewontin's analysis shows that such groups do not exist in the human species, and Edwards' critique does not contradict that interpretation."
The view that, while geographic clustering of biological traits does exist, this does not lend biological validity to racial groups, was proposed by several evolutionary anthropologists and geneticists prior to the publication of Edwards critique of Lewontin.
Robert Watson
Yes, that is very true. Races and genus and species could also all be concidered spooks because they have no clear line of separation. There was never a "missing link" between them since evolution is continous. Anyways, I'm just saying that if you follow what scientists, not philosofers are saying right now. Race is real. Nazi retarded supperor aryan race conspiracies, are not.

Thank you, we never knew this, that some people aren't adapted to the brilliant strategy of drinking animal breast milk.
We all are in better hands than Africa for being less degenerate. We are advanced enough to own milk farms where every free citizen of America has the right to drink milk from an animal's tits, regardless of income.
Milk is so important in fact, we need to have a constant amount of bred animals in the millions getting milked all the time, that we can drink.
Just because we really are not that degenerate at all

Fuck your structuralism, sciencifical value judgements are a spook
Christopher King
Nobody is saying "race" isn't real. Genetic variance exists but what of it.
Whites are suceptible to a numerous amounts of genetic faults other races do not have.
Genetics is not a popularity contest. You cannot make any assumptions based on something as material as the human genome without a good amount of evidence.
Likewise your comment on evolution is idiotic. I hope you meant race and genes and not race and Genus

This has nothing to do with being a degenerate. I'm not saying that drinking milk makes you a supperior übermench (although some science says it enhances brain function, which I'm not sure I believe as I've read contradicting statements). What I'm saying is there are clear biological differences between peoples. These differences are not large, and mostly if not fully cosmetic, like larget noses or ears.
