>who can take an honest look at a west African and a Frenchman and immediately think that they are fundamentally of the same stock
1. "Stock" is not really scientific. The problem with race is that you can literally draw the line of "races" anywhere. It's all about resolution. I don't understand how polynesians being more related to each other than to europeans somehow proves they are a different "race" anymore than my grandma being more related to me than my 2nd cousin is.
2. Visuals are a shit way of telling animals relatedness. Small mutations can have huge effects while big mutations might not be so readily apparent.
