    no i read a review of a book that was written interpreting the study, plus a wikipedia article. what do i look like a scientist? aint nobody got time for that. i just look long enough until i find something that confirms what i already believe and stop there

    Going after brown people mostly. The TTP thing Ragic pointed out was also a kept promise... though I don't know that letting China dictate how pacific trade will be handled for the forseeable future is a good long term plan. He did promise to restart Keystone and he just re-approved it.

    He's also broken (more than) a few. Promised Obama care replacement immediately. Promised he wouldn't go after medicare/medicaid/social security. Promised to drain the swamp (then hired a bunch of goldman sachs peeps and fellow millionaires). Promised Mexico would pay for a wall, but instead it will be U.S. taxpayers. Promised he wouldn't go on vacation much, but he goes every weekend. I feel like he at least heavily implied he'd separate himself from his business interests and he hasn't.

    Its too early to give him flak for not getting the infrastructure bill passed, but I doubt he'll make much progress there. We'll see how the tax overhaul goes. His proposed skinny budget is absolute shite though.

    He's completely incompetent when it comes to foreign relations, but I don't necessarily know that he made hard commitments when it comes to that.

    that actually helps explain the colors much better, thanks. now I see why you keep asking about indians. weren't indians and persians the original aryans anyways? guess genetics shows that.

    lol at @newsbuff inability to answer a question and admiting he is ignorant of the evidence he puts forward
    and @Astamir blowing a gasket

    Aryans are whichever people want to claim they are "noble"

    its sort of like diet meaning ''the people'' so now the germans call themselves Deutsch and the Netherlanders are called Dutch by everyone somehow because we used to identifie as Diets

    so it doesn't matter, if you are not Dutch, you are not much.
    and you are not Dutch :p

    who?

    are you talking about that trump knockoff that wants to be a failed austrian painter?

    Aryan originates from a sanskrit word, so it's really not a European thing. But yes, it was basically Indians who called themselves that.

    I found this section from the paper pretty interesting:

    "Of 4199 alleles present more than once in the sample, 46.7% appeared in all major regions represented: Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Central South Asia, East Asia, Oceania, and America. Only 7.4% of these 4199 alleles were exclusive to one region; region-specific alleles were usually rare, with a median relative frequency of 1.0% in their region of occurrence."

    how many alleles does it take to create substantive difference in human cognitive or physical ability, susceptibility to disease, etc.?

    some traits are determined by a single allele. Others by double.

    7.4% = 311.

    311 means at minimum 155 genetic variations exclusive to a region. As for different combination of non-exclusive alleles (the 53.3% or 2,239 other alleles) and how they interact to form complex traits, we really don't know.

    But to say that race doesn't exist is an assertion that's been debunked.

    Of course race is a thing I don't expect you anglo-saxon mixed brood to understaand, you are about as bright as an Iberian, maybe a Sicilian but that is a stretch.

    there happy now?


    (that is jokes... or is it?)

    is it working?

    you'd think by now you would have understood that care and effort doesn't pay/

    Race exists, of course, as a social construct.

    Genetic differences exists, of course, as a scientific construct.

    But whether genetics define race is a bit murkier, and this data really shows how most "races" are made up a mix of categories of genetics and no "race" is homogeneous in genetics.

    Basically, it really doesn't say what you think it says. At best, it says that individuals belonging to certain geographical regions tend to be slightly more similar than those in other regions, but share MORE similarities than differences with people of other races, both within that region and without.
