soyentists: we need to stop climate change, because it's causing this particular sub-species of tiger to mix with other sub-species. this causes the offspring to lose it's unique traits to the larger population, including behavioral and cognative traits.
also soyentists: racism is a mental illness because we're paid to say so
@mactonite Only one small problem here, the different human hapgroups are not different species
@Spaghettimon niggers and whites are different subspecies of man because that is the most legitimate taxonomical classification.

@Spaghettimon @mactonite Not true

We have as much genetic variation as other subspecies

And physically we're even more different than full on species (more useful than genetics), which is why until like the 70s we have always been classified as different species (and it wasn't changed for a good reason), including going back to Linnaeus

And we genetically cluster by that morphology

This is so true omg, that's why today it is basically only used for paleonthology when dna is not available

@Spaghettimon @mactonite Both ignores where I show genetics says we're different anyway and ignores himself: "It's all about *what* changes in the dna"

Genetics are used a lot because they just give you direct clades, which gives you good morphology anyway, but you obviously get something more scientifically meaningful by differentiating things that aren't near identical physically, obviously

@applejack @mactonite

Dna is code and we are machines. Linux distros are all still linux and not windows, no matter the dissimilarities in appearance

And also, I've never denied that genetic hapgroups exist on y-dna and mithocondrial dna (both having the main genetic variation in humans, neither affecting much of our lives), which are the official definition of race, scientifically

@Spaghettimon @mactonite Evolution is when you spend 70,000-100,000 years in completely opposite environments but end up with identical brains and completely opposite anatomies. Any clustered differences are a coincidence

Can't really expect better from a communist, someone who's ideology is founded on humans being magic altruistic blank-slates, and if we just didn't own anything we'd all be equal, and share, and crime wouldn't exist, and all that

Anyone can make an analogy to support anything, that's not special, though there it's kinda soy

@applejack @mactonite 70k-100k years are, unless under extreme environmental pressure, not enough to make that huge a difference, specially when we have always mixed together and no one really is more than 14k years apart of anyone else

Also, mixing in my ideology here is fallacious, since it doesn't have anything to do with the argument at hand
