They aren't.

Humans phenotypes are closer than nearly any land mammal, thanks in large part to a nasty genetic bottleneck some 70,000 years ago. If we were any more closely related, we'd be able to pass cancers to one another, like Tasmanian devils.

This is what cultural selection pressure can do in about 50 years.

<- See these two dogs?

Same species.

Not even sub species.

You trying to tell me that there's humans more morphologically different than these two dogs?

Race is just PC speak for "breed". These are two different breeds. Blacks and whites are two different breeds.

AGAIN RACE = BREED

But there's less genetic diversity and more genetic homogeneity in our species than nearly any other mammal on the planet, as, once upon a time, the entire species hit an extreme genetic bottleneck where there were maybe ten thousand of us total, all interbreeding like mad.

The only mammal with greater genetic homogeneity than modern man, is the Tasmanian Devil, a species so genetically homogenous, it can actually spread cancers between members.

No, science is not in any way ignoring the difference between races. Several fields study this, and nothing but this. Genetic racial identification and race specific medicines are huge fields right now. But there is truth to the old statement, that there is oft more genetic diversity within a race than between any two given races, and there's such blurry rainbow involved, that no one is purely any race.

>I am talking out of my ass with this, but I assume you can give it maybe a thousand years at most of current levels of race mixing and you won't find any separate races anymore
We're already there. By even our recent ancestors standards, all sorts of people are considered white that would never have been considered so before, within living memory.

But tribalism is a core social instinct, so we're very good at focusing on differences, regardless of how subtle, and if none exist, we will create them.

>We normally prefer our own race/subspecies.
Have you not seen that dating service response rate pic that they are always posting up on /pol/? Hell nah, certain races just get tons more offers for wang and wu tang from other races and many races abhor their own - and it ain't always the white guys.

There are genetic markers for race, so there is a genetic definition. That said...

...Human beings are among the most genetically homogeneous mammals on the planet, there's not enough genetic variance in the species to define a subspecies within it. Indeed, there's some debate as to whether even neanderthals qualified as a subspecies or instead an extinct breed (race).

You can have a hell of a lot of morphological difference and still not constitute a subspecies. Such as seem among breeds of dog.

>Think of it like this: lions and tigers can produce hybrid offspring,
But the offspring are sterile... Like mules (or is that donkeys?).

In any case, "Race" is interchangeable with "Breed". You can have quite a lot of morphological variance, and still be the same species (not even sub species) but different breeds (pic related).

Toxicological definitions aren't always so hard and fast though.

Please, /pol/ makes this same post three times a day - you're even using the same standard image used there.

It's not a matter of being perceived as racist. It's a matter of being scientifically accurate. The taxonomical laws were setup in the early 18th century - LONG before ANYONE worried about being called "racist" (hell, some folks were pretty much using niggers as guinea pigs at the time). And there are no species as genetically close together as we are, among the mammals, that we refer to as subspecies.

There's no major morphological differences (inb4 nigger-skull - that's still less than 1% difference), and you can interbreed. You're the same species, deal with it.

See these two dogs? Same fucking species. Not even a subspecies apart - they are just different breeds, different races. That's how this shit works, I'm sorry.
