Human subspeciation is feared as an assault on human dignity. 160 years after Darwin, people have still not fully come to terms with the fact that we are animals. I think the denial of race, which has garnered a very thick scientific-sounding veneer, is a manifestation of this.

All the humans in the world have a more narrow gene pool than all the chimpanzees in Gombe. We went through several vary intense bottlenecks. Biologists agree that not enough variation exists for subspecies designation

On this matter I'm going to trust my own eyes over any counter intuitive "rigorous science" you have to offer me. Call me a naïve realist, but this all that needs to be said, as far as I'm concerned. https://www.minds.com/fs/v1/thumbnail/741500407016071173 …

Lol. Dogs are a subspecies of wolves. AND dogs are more phenotypically variable than humans but get “breed” not “subspecies” designation. Either you want to talk biology or you want to make stuff up on your own. If the latter then stop trying to use biology to support your views

Subspecies, breed, race, whatever sounds least offensive to you. Semantic diversions aside, anyone with the temerity to trust their lyin' eyes knows the truth. No amount of jargon or obscurantism can suppress our visceral disgust when confronted with that which is alien to us.

Science is expressly formulated with systems of measurements so that people to do rely on only “trusting” their senses. Sounds like you are arguing against science and the systemic study of the material world

I take issue with "rigorous science" turning up results that fly in the face of all rational intuition. There's more variation between animals that all look identical, but humans that couldn't look more different are homogenous under a microscope? Sorry, I don't buy it. It reeks.

You seem emotional, i.e., not rational, every time you talk about pomo this, pomo that, and don't use rational logic, everything always goes back to pomos.

I'm pretty sure everything does actually go back to pomos though

Well he uses it to attack science he doesn't like that comes to conclusions he disagrees with that he 'sees with his own eyes'.

Alleged scientific findings are often highly spun
