Woah, there's a real Stephen Jay Gould Prize (for popularizing evolutionary science). That's like a Walter Duranty Prize for Excellence in Journalism.

The stunning discovery of the Taforalt genomes from Mesolithic Morocco earlier this yr more or less proves that there's an "other" sizeable genetic element in most sub saharans, which represents either an archaic hominid, a highly divergent early sapiens type, or both

Your point on Lewontin is distinctly weaker than it could have been. Yes, if you measure any one trait, it can only tell you the race say 15% of the time or thereabouts.

However, if you measure two traits, then it's 28% of the time. Five traits, 56% of the time, and so on. Which is why one can eyeball a race accurately almost every time unless they're some mystery meat mix.
