>Which is correct. As classification is completely arbitrary and you can define any group you want given some equally arbitrary ratio of some equally arbitrary alleles, Lewontin was wrong to use the fact to disregard classification outright. He is right, however, to disregard such classification as anything but arbitrary.
Wow. Very astute observation about human language. Very cool, very jewish. What is a cow? Well it´s a 4 legged mammal with males having horns that humans use to get milk. So why aren´t goats cows? Well they are a different species and cows and goats can´t breed. Wolves and dogs can breed, but they are different species.
What is a chair? Something that you sit on? If I sit on the floor, is the floor now a chair? Well not really. What if I sit on a tree stump? Is the tree stump a chair? Define a chair for me, because it seems rather arbitrary as what we define as chairs. When does a stool become a chair or a chair becomes a stool? Who knows? It´s arbitrary, as with every single word in every human language.

In humans it happens every so often that a genetic variability produces some weird results. Like siamese twins or people born with 3 legs or arms or one leg and the list goes on. How often does it happen that 2 African pygmies just happened to give birth to a Chinese? Never. How often does it happen that 2 white Europeans with their at least 70.000 years split from Sub-Saharan Africans just happen to give birth to an African? Never. Or maybe 2 white Europeans giving birth to an Australian aboriginal? I mean, if the genetic difference can be bigger between 2 white Europeans than between a white European and an Australian aboriginal, it would happen from time to time. Right? Given enough births, statistically it would happen. The reason it doesn´t happen, is because your a fucking nigger moron who thinks pointing out that language itself is arbitrary brings any insight to the table. What is table even?!
