"As a biologist, I’ve learned that there are two related issues that are
taboo for academics to discuss openly. The first is the issue of
“races”—of genetic differences between human populations. Cultural
anthropologists tell us that races are “social constructs.” Well,
there’s a bit of truth in that, insofar as there is no finite number of
races that can be unambiguously demarcated from each other. But there
are genetic differences between groups, and clustering algorithms can
divide populations into five or six fairly distinguishable groups
corresponding to their geographic localities. Those genetic differences
in marker genes undoubtedly evolved via either genetic drift or natural
selection in early human populations that were geographically isolated."
The sociological religion of no biological differences between the sexes
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
