Are All Races the Same?

We are living in a circumstance where science tries to convince people that race and ethnicity are only an abstract matter of geographical location and cultural differences. Scientific circles and major universities predominantly from Western Europe and North America are asserting that genetic differences between human ethnic groups are so small that it is not applicable to group humans as distinct biological races, and that on the other hand, paradoxically groups of animals from within the same subspecies have greater variation in DNA compared to different races of humans. [1]

But is this accurate? A first question to consider and think about, even if it was true, is it even relevant that animals might have more genetic variation between individuals of the same subspecies compared to humans? On this note, we should question how does this claim reflect in each individual’s physical characteristics? From what can be observed, two animals that science claims to have higher genetic variation than humans such as king penguins or chimpanzees, still have nearly identical appearance, have very similar physical sizes and characteristics, body structure is mostly identical etc. On the other hand, two humans from different races or sub-races are obviously going to be very different individuals in a lot of parameters.

Certain groups of people have genetically been shorter or taller, bone and skeleton structure of different groups is different, skin color, physiognomy (of which there is massive variability especially between groups of White people for example, whilst in other groups such as Asiatic or certain Black groups there is very little variability), brain and skull sizes vary between individuals or different groups, body and psychological behavior and differences in how internal processes are managed by every body, race-specific health conditions, eye and hair colors, hair growth etc. There is so much variation between humans which is directly reflected in each individuals’ DNA that we could argue we are definitely genetically more different than animals, and that the current scientific trend that claims the opposite needs a major retrospection to say the least.

Traditionally, and as most people subconsciously know, there are 3 major races: Asians (representing most people from Japan, China, South and North Korea etc), Blacks (Predominantly in Africa) and Whites (Europe, North America, Australia, Russia) and there are many other distinct sub-races (and in many cases, individual subgroups within sub-races) that have different characteristics based on the physical parameters mentioned above, the location on Earth they have adapted to for thousands to tens of thousands of years, the foods they are consuming and how the body adopted to various diets, religious beliefs, cultural heritage and history etc. This is what defines a racial group. Asians, Blacks and Whites are considered “pure” races (exactly in the same way the term ”purebred” comparatively defines certain animals that have evolved by selective breeding within one unique breed) while all the other subgroups have mostly formed over time due to regional race-mixing between the three, which is the case for areas like South America, Middle East or India, to name a few examples of multi-racial regions.

Britannica [2] claims that “scholars now argue that “races” are cultural interventions reflecting specific attitudes and beliefs that were imposed on different populations in the wake of western European conquests beginning in the 15th century”. The nonsensical and illogical nature of this statement is obvious when observing that the “race label” is mostly attributed to the European colonization of other areas of the world as if there would not be such a label if colonization wouldn’t have happened, or as if this was a major global event that reshaped the way we recognize different races and sub-races of humans or as if different human races were only discovered during the European “conquests”. In reality none of this is true, and colonization had no impact whatsoever on any of the aspects that defines a race. More so, the European “conquests” are a very recent event on the timescale of human existence. For the most part, there are distinct races and sub-races now as there have been 100, 500, 1000, 5000 or 10.000 years ago. European conquests did not change the genome of different communities living in different areas of the world, or their traditions, diets, adaptation to environment etc. For the most part this is mostly yet another pretense to blame White people for all of the worlds’ problems, as you will discover more in this website.

Another interesting observation is how James Watson, the molecular biologist and geneticist who has been awarded a Nobel prize for major contributions together with other scientists for discovering the double-helix structure of the DNA, has been stripped of his honorary titles by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) for claiming that there are physical or genetic links between race-specific characteristics such as skin color and sex drive or intelligence [3]. For some reason CSHL finds Watson’s race-based claims (quoting CSHL itself [4]): “reprehensible, unsupported by science”, “offensive”. However, Reality tends to disagree and we are going to have a deeper look into this.

One of James Watson’s affirmations was that IQ differences between Blacks and Whites are of a genetic nature and that “Africans are less intelligent than Westerners”. As discussed above, various human races and sub-races all have different brain and skull sizes and structure differences, which is indeed reflected in each individual’s DNA (and in the “common DNA” that is specific to broader groups of people). However what can be observed here is a reality that cannot be denied, and that is the fact that communities with lower IQ naturally tend to be more deprived, poor, less educated, more corrupted and more immoral, whereas communities or groups with generally higher IQ tend to have better living conditions, much superior education systems, more advanced laws and ethical standards, superior economy and generally other aspects of more developed and more “intelligent” communities. If one checks for example “IQ by country” statistics there is a general tendency common in all of them: - African and South-American nations tend to point towards lower places, denoting lower IQ - Asian and European/White nations tend to point towards higher places, denoting higher IQ

It is easily observable and apparent that countries and groups of people with higher IQ are naturally builders of more superior civilizations with superior living conditions compared to communities with lower IQ which are more dominated by corruption, poverty and also religious radicalism, and in truth there is a connection between all these aspects.

Another of James Watson’s claims was that there is a connection between skin color and sex drive, where generally darker skinned people have a higher libido. Although CSHL labeled this claim (among others) as “unsupported by science” there are in fact studies such as one from the National Library of Medicine [5] that prove Watson’s affirmations, and a real connection between skin pigmentation and sexual steroid/hormones is somewhat well documented and established. Beside this, we can observe that fertility rates in darker skinned nations such as in some parts of Africa or India is much higher compared to lighter skinned nations [6], however there are other factors contributing to this that will be discussed on other topics, but the conclusion here is that Watson’s claim does have a seed of truth that is backed both by scientific evidence and populational observations. Another argument that reflects this is average median age [7], which as expected it is lower in darker nations such as in Africa or India (i.e. younger population) and higher in White and Asiatic countries (i.e. elder population)

Median Age by Country

What is striking is that Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory does not attack James Watson because his claims would be false or inaccurate, but simply because the current establishment deems such views as “racist” and “supremacist” for totally different reasons than genetic, biological and racial reality. As such people who express views that nonconforming with current trends of equality, inclusion and other similar artificial social constructs are regarded as racists, punished and ostracized even if their arguments are well grounded scientifically.

Therefore why does science try to advocate that “humans are the same” and that there is very little genetic variation between ourselves? The reason is to simply cancel out all those overwhelming differences and establish the notion that all humans can exist and mix together as one single species, therefore eliminating the traditional and millenniums old nature of humans to exist in separate communities, nations, race-based territories and boundaries, which has been the case for most of humanities’ existence. It is nothing more than a very recent attempt (“recent” in relation to the age of humanity) of certain specific groups of people to re-shape the entire paradigm of how humans have inhabited the Earth since the very beginnings, and for this reason they use all the tools that exist to convince humanity that any differences that make each race and sub-race unique and special do not have a biological basis, that all humans genetically have extremely minor differences and that people mixing ethnically and culturally on the grounds of “equality” and “diversity” is the future.
