J. Philippe Rushton quotes about
biological consistent devoid race relationships
If race were an arbitrary, socially-constructed concept, devoid of all biological meaning, such consistent relationships would not exist.
race zoologist term
A race is what zoologists term a variety or subdivision of a species.
race definitions subjectivity
Those objecting to the concept of race argue that the taxonomic definitions are arbitrary and subjective.
ethos race levels
To deny the predictive validity of race at this level is nonscientific and unrealistic.
silly race people
Sometimes it is claimed by those who argue that race is just a social construct that the human genome project shows that because people share roughly 99% of their genes in common, that there are no races. This is silly.
race generations groups
Formation of a new race takes place when, over several generations, individuals in one group reproduce more frequently among themselves than they do with individuals in other groups.
race people common
Deconstructing the concept of race not only conflicts with people's tendency to classify and build family histories according to common descent but also ignores the work of biologists studying non-human species.
up-early differences race
Race differences show up early in life.
race differences study
Nonetheless, much has been learned by studying the statistical differences between the various human races.
race combination physiological
Each race (or variety) is characterized by a more or less distinct combination of inherited morphological, behavioral, physiological traits.
extreme less occurs refer
But differentiation also occurs under less extreme circumstances. Zoologists and evolutionists refer to such differentiated populations as races.
alarming conclusion follows people treated
Startling, and alarming to many, is the conclusion that follows from these data that if all people were treated the same, most average race differences would not disappear.
