The races getting more different?
    #18786678 - 09/01/13 07:33 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I was browsing Wikipedia's articles on race because I'm bored and came across this 'alternate view' in the 'race of the future' article.

According to the anthropologist Henry Harpending, human populations are actually diverging from one another, as opposed to melding into a single population. Harpending stated “Human races are evolving away from each other [...] Genes are evolving fast in Europe, Asia and Africa, but almost all of these are unique to their continent of origin. We are getting less alike, not merging into a single, mixed humanity.”[7]

What does peoples think of this? Very interesting I thought. Blacks are getting blacker, whites whiter.

If you consider how slow mutations work, and how quickly the populations are mixing around the world, I can't believe that we're moving towards greater subspecies separatism.

This.

And we'll never be around to find out so it's rather irrelevant.

Or did you want to let it affect your partner selection?

Maybe start a breeding program?

If it's a breeding program for redheads I'm in, they are said to be an endangered subspecies.

That's because black people have djenes and white people have genes.
