        @sapinker Most obvious flaw: He assumes post-Out-of-Africa evolution overcame previous genomic diversification plus continual global mixing.

        @ChemicalEyeGuy The rate of evolution *increased* over the last 10,000 years: http://www.amazon.com/The-000-Year-Explosion-Civilization/dp/0465020429 …

        @JayMan471 So did global genetic mixing. And pre-Out-of-Africa is MUCH longer than post-Out-of-Africa.

        @ChemicalEyeGuy Length of time is only one determinant of degree of evolutionary change. Many others (e.g., population size) also important.

        @JayMan471 No rate of evolutionary change can lead to distinct races if concurrent global mixing erases its local effect.

        @sapinker @heartiste If Wade got the tiniest detail wrong, lefties will pounce on it and loudly proclaim the entire thesis "discredited."

        @Penman1961 It would be helpful if these were all actually accurate. That tends to happen when you rely on the SPLC.
