Indeed science has moved on and found that traditional "races" are just a myth. Name the boundary of any so called traditional "race" genetically.

Surely that's a fallacy (not just in genetics), the idea that a blurred boundary = no boundary. Call it the Continuum Fallacy, maybe.
-
So you place more value on large subjective easily disproven undefined groups called traditional "races", than accurate genetically defined smaller groups of which there are 1000's? I suppose you think a KM is a more accurate measure than a mm.....
-
Distance can be just as accurately measured in kilometers or millimeters. That you don't understand this speaks volumes (volume can be just as accurately measured in liters or milliliters).
-
1) You misunderstood my analogy. To clarify: To the nearest Km is not the same accuracy as to the nearest mm. A small genetic grouping is a better represenatative of an individual than a large indistinct, non genetic traditional "race" grouping.
-
I guess we should never talk about dogs as a group then since there are smaller genetic groupings like beagles. Banish "dog" from your vocabulary!
-
1) The word "race" should only be applied ina subjective way. Subjective appearance ("traditional "race" is not objective). 2) Dogs and human are false equivalence. Dogs are artificially selected and have allopatric barriers to gene flow in place that humans do not have.

Dogs were not 'artificially' selected. They were selected by humans, a product of nature. Peasants raised cows. Lords raised peasants.https://hbdchick.wordpress.com/2014/03/10/big-summary-post-on-the-hajnal-line/ …

Wut AI devil-bot is this? 6 followers, follows no one, and regurgitates race-denialist talking points like it's 1980. And yet its English is excellent.

Did they upload Stephen Gould brain to the 'net before his death? Had to wait 15 years for state-of-the-art in AI to catch-up and release it into the wild on twitter?

A terrible place to start, pre Human genome project, and an author who didn't understand there is only Homo spaiens sapiens.

one cannot do better than beginning with Baker's 1974 text--unless one starts out with a conclusion already in hand-- Baker was an outstanding biologist with erudition in multiple fields

All individuals have unique genomes. It is certainly proven to be unscientific to believe that of the 3 pictures below that the 1st and 2nd are more closely related genetically than the 1st and 3rd. Genetics disproves traditional "races" all the time.pic.twitter.com/vLlHAG6ULg

I wonder if you have moved on since 2000: http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/TS/BaileyAssociates/HumanBiodiversityGroup.htm …
