    What’s the race here, African or Melanesian? And if it’s the same race, why are they so separated geographically?

      I don’t know, just some mixture of African and Mongolian would be my guess. It would be more appropriate to ask the people in that picture IMO.

          So what? I said I don’t know already. Do you want to keep on all day about this?

          Go ahead and just believe whatever you want about all this, you will do that regardless of what I say.

          Likewise there’s nothing you can say that would change the facts of reality that I’ve already stated.

            You said physical traits determined race. You couldn’t determine race from physical traits.

              You want to reduce everything into simple concepts just to argue about them. Reality is not that simple, and that’s clearly not all that I said about the subject. There’s no need to make up your own version of “what I said” when what I actually said is still there in plain text to read in the past comments.

                I’m not making anything up:

                It think it’s debatable about how you define Races, but it’s also quite obvious that biological races exist. There are specific differences in the physical biology that separate the races, and common traits among them that identify them as part of the group. Skin color, hair type, bone structure, genetic predisposition to certain diseases, etc. Physical traits are passed from the parents to the children, and when the parents are of different races we get blending of the characteristics and so on. Some Native Americans even have different kinds of teeth than European-Caucasian descended folks do.

                So do physical traits determine race or not?

            the facts of reality that I’ve already stated

            But you never stated facts or reality.

            You’re trying to argue that races exist as something other than social constructs.

            Different Races for humans have no genetic or biological basis. Period.

            Blonde is not a race. Brown eyed is not a race. Brown skin is not a race. And on and on
