Of course! Anyone who's studied evolution realizes there is no such thing as "race." We all originated in the same place, carry the same structure and only developed different skin shades and superficial facial differences as evolutionary responses to geographic-related stresses.

Among those characteristic which all humans share is social nature...we have ''tribes.'' They might be as simple as school groups, sports fans, religions, anything we use to set ourselves apart from others. Tribes are useful...they teach us how things are done, what's important...they keep us safe.

They also give rise to racism and other hatreds, especially when we feel threatened and unsafe.

Modern race ideas started (as we know it) with Columbus and came right on up through Hitler. There is no pure white race and never has been.

So all the vile anti-white racism is without basis??? I can support that.

Now we need someone to explain why we seem need an "other" to fear/hate.

It has been known for over 20 years there is no such thing as race (there is racism, though). We are all basically a conglomerate of tribes with basically cosmetic and cultural differences. Nothing more.

Awesome guy

How many times have I said this? There is no such thing as race. It's a social construct.

Racism is a form of insecurity.

When my son was little, I was explaining racism to him. We had a black cat and a white cat at the time and when I was finished he exclaimed that racism was as stupid as favoring our white cat over our black cat simply on the basis of their color.

I have contemplated racism much, especially since then. I think color may be just a representative factor while the real prejudice is toward different cultures, namely in the US primarily mainstream caucasian culture favoring itself over the differences in African American and Hispanic cultures.

Despite their many faults, my non-religious parents did not permit discrimination on the basis or race or ethnicity in their household, for which I feel fortunate. Even so, my position is that while we live in a racist culture we are all racists by default. That does not keep us from joining the movement however, and if Trump sends his hooligans to Denver to abduct people like the brown shirts did in Germany in 1938, I will be there.

Human dna might show that we are 'one' but it fails to address racism which is escalating as never before and is evident throughout the world in every country; therefore other markers need to be factored in.

The sooner that we can destroy the pernicious myth of race, the better off we humans will be.

We are all the one, and only, surviving member of the Genus Homo, which has nothing to do with sexual identity.

Alot of dummies can learn a lot if they willing to listen.

A very simplistic view of a complex topic.

It all comes down to evolution, an how long have reproducing populations been apart.

Humans split from chimpanzees 5 to 7 million years ago. Since then, there were enough genetic mutations that Humans and chimpanzees could not have sex and produce offspring.

Humans split from Neandertals 300K to 500K years ago. Mondern humans and Neandertals were close enough genetically that they could reproduce with each other and produce offspring, so Europeans and Asians get about 2% to 4% of their DNA from Neandertals.

The limit for most species that they be sufficiently different that they cannot reproduce is about 1 to 2 million years.

Modern humans migrated out of Africa about 50K to 60K years ago, so there was very little interbreeding between modern humans in Europe and Asia with modern humans in Africa for about 50K to 60K years.

The modern humans who became Europeans and the modern humans who became Asians split about 40K years ago.

So for about 40K years:

Modern humans who became Europeans did not breed with Asians or Africans
Modern humans who became Asians did not breed with Europeans or Africans
Modern humans who became Africans did not breed with Europeans or Asians.

This 40K years of evolving separately led to physical differences, skin color, hair texture, facial features, that was very different among the three different groups (or races) of people.

Then all of that changed due to people like Vasco De Gama, Christopher Columbus, and Ferdinand Magellan. Once modern humans started traveling in large numbers from continent to continent, they started interbreeding with each other, so the physical (racial) differences that were so apparent in the 1400's are diminishing rapidly.

Do we really need a TV presenter to tell us something that is so apparent ?. I hope not.

Homo Sapiens is a single species. The "races" defined within the species are mostly arbitrary.

ya know if I really needed a religion it would be a 2 God religion. Bill Nye and Neil Tyson lol
