Op name another species on earth that can have populations separate from each other for thousands of years, still be able to learn each other's languages and cross breed/have fertile offspring with each other. Protip you can't, that's a set of feature which seems virtually exclusive to humans.

You can find species that can cross breed with each other but rarely do they yield fertile offspring. You can also find species that can into basic communication mimicry to fool other species but rarely are they able to master said communication. However you cannot find a species (technically two concurrent species if the discussion is about races) outside humans (that I'm aware of) that can fully do both despite said long periods of separation.

In order to maintain the mindset that each race is their own species or sub-species one would have to create a new category. Such as "Super Species" to capture the unique set of features that allows Humans/Homo-Sapiens to be able to pull this feat off. However there is no need to create a new category because other species too can have a set of features that is virtually exclusive to them that allows maintaining oneself as a species. If you need an example look up the Common Cuckoo.

Orca and other dolphins, plus they can interbreed across species, see Wolphins.

Yes, the article does also mention the possibility Neanderthals were capable of song/singing communication too. So if Homo-Sapiens and Neanderthals did communicate with each other verbally it may have been through song. But this is purely conjecture and goes into the debate of wether or not song itself can be considered a language.

I'll admit this may indeed be a possibility. However then conversation must go into how well did our two species understand each other's song and if the crossbreed offspring were capable of learning both species song/language, favored one species more or only had remedial understanding of both but was able to continue mating into human populations regardless of that deficiency.

>>11801664

I'm aware that various species are capable of cross breeding with each other for fertile offspring. But do you have links to any research that shows those two species were capable of learning each other's languages/communications fully on top of cross breeding? That's the big issue here that is hard to figure out since that's the set of features humans have that others don't.

For instance there is research of experimental mixed colony of Asian and European bees that can learn each other's dance. Although it is still controversial because researchers debate if bee waggle dance can be considered a language, if bee species actually have different waggle dance dialects and if the two species in question actually can properly decode each other. Even if two bee species can properly learn each other's language. They do not seem to yield hybrid offspring in general let alone hybrid offspring that is fertile. Humans are alone with this set of features.

Possibly but struggling to learn and being incapable of learning is two different things. For instance some people struggle harder to learn Japanese than others. But they are not incapable of learning the Japanese language it just takes longer. Also clicking languages may be harder to learn for some since it's a less utilize method of communicating. Even though people in general still use it in simple reaction gestures.

Humans are designed to obsessively notice differences in facial features. If you had the same prepensity to do it for bird faces and looked at both birds head-on, you'd probably consider them even more different-looking than those two human faces.

Also, you're comparing two individuals, one of whom may be overweight, so it's not really fair unless you're comparing diverse samples of both groups.

You would survive better than if you were black. You're trying to subtly avoid it, but the point remains : we adapted to our environments before we adapted them to us.

You're the one without basic understanding of basic concepts.
The division of race is if two groups of the same species have been away for such time that when they come again in contact don't voluntarily breed with each other, even though it could be theoretically possible.
For example, an west african bantu and akan twas will mix together if raised with the same culture as russian and german bears can. but when a population of european humans is introduced in the west african region they wont voluntarily mix (unless extremely horny or drunk or abnormal in any other form) with the natives the same way a horse won't mix with a zebra or a polar bear won't mix with a grizzly.

You assert this as a fact necause it confirms to your presumed notions of race realism, and it's not true at all. Almost the entire population of Latin America is a genetic soup of many different races including indigenous peopls, European colonists, and black slaves as a result of centuries of race mixing. You assert that any white man would never willingly reproduce with an African woman solely from your own experience as a white man who would never willingly reproduce with an African woman. What you have failed to account for is that most white men are not mouthbreathing race realists who learned everything they know about the world from /pol/.

They were classified as species before we had the means to give an objective meaning to the term.
We could relabel them as different subspecies, but we don't because the important thing is that they are pretty different, and saying that they are the same species just would be absurd. It would be asking people to drop the usual term of species that they used for centuries to mean different groups of animals, just to replace it with a prefixed version of the same word.

Race is a meme from people who didn't understand genetics. You can group humans into very fuzzy categories but most of the time genetic differences are a continuum, not a series of clusters. Humans move around too much and breed with out-groups too often for real separation to happen except in a few instances. Modern Europeans, for example, are mostly descended from three distinct migratory waves, not a single branch coming off a tree.

You might be able to argue the case that a polar bear could survive in the woods, but there's no way a grizzly bear would survive in the arctic ocean. They lack the numerous adaptations that polar bears have such as body shape and swimming endurance that the polar bears have devloped to allow them to live in a marine environment. Humans can move to new locations faster than they can evolve to live in those conditions because we rely on technology rather than built-in physical abilities to cope with our environment.

The ability to create technology is a built in physical ability. And it evolved further in Eurasia than in Africa.

As for the comparison with polar bears, pygmies would also lack numerous adaptations than the Eskimos have to live in the arctic. According to your criteria they should be different species.

I'm not in this conversation, but I'm getting the impression that you are using that figure like it seems to imply that it does prove some kind of speciation process despite geneflow.

Therefore allow me to clarify that it actually does the opposite, for it violates the classical definition of species as being genetically isolated from other populations and at the same having species classified as species, being actually a challenge of what we consider and define as species and if anything going in favour of the idea that the defenition should broaden and become more lax to accept for cases such as this when the geneflow is still going on.

Now, in terms of human populations your pic is also out of context since the concept you have to look for are clines or geographical distributions of phenotypes, more typically in gradients of characteristics, that would be more fitting for an actual human dynamic that challenges classification of human populations.

Good day.

There are 2 species. Subsaharan africans and the rest. Both are subspeciated.

Races are not species, but are genetically dissimilar enough for the 5 classical races to make sense.

But if scientists can uncover 4 species of giraffe using a genetic based approach, the races are definitely a physical reality. You dont have to call them species. But the same genetic variation that is used to establish species in giraffe exists in humans.

Human? Yes but some population groups integrate with other population groups than some other population groups. Those population groups that aren't able to integrate in a peaceful manner should be segregated from each other.

Speaking of segregation, that's a population group that needs to its own space, both to protect it from others and to protect others from them. They're not the source of all misery in the world but there is a high correlation between their presence and discord.

This. Also was more passive and active benefits travelers of other groups don't enjoy mostly. In Africa for example as a western white guy you have Expat communities ( or local in the case of Namibia or South Africa) where you don't have to interact with the natives at all, places that cater to you and try to passively or actively not serve locals, positive at worse stereotypes, paid better then locals by x3+ for doing the same job and qualifications. On top of that very few people will mess with you because the minute they do the police would basically rape them with the baton.

Yeah people assume you are rich which in the case of Africa you are relatively and that gets annoying and people try to sell to you but at least that's way easier to quash or correct then people asking you about your penis. That beats people trying to touch your Afro-textured hair without your permission, assuming you are slut/drug seller because you are Black or saying stuff like "I want real American, white one not a black one" to you...while you are processing their visa application at a consulate.

Study finds huge differences in size and shape between Chinese and Caucasian brains:
http://archive.is/7HLXR
>Global volumetric measures were used to identify significant group differences in the brain length, width, height and AC-PC line distance. Using the LONI BrainParser, 56 brain structures were automatically labeled and analyzed for all subjects.
>Genetics and environmental factors make the Oriental and Occidental populations dissimilar. Thus, using Caucasian atlases for Chinese populations leads to overall brain volume, shape and size differences. Additionally, differences in brain structures between these populations may underlie different brain functions. If a Caucasian template is used in functional studies involving Chinese subjects, such genotypic and phenotypic differences may cause inaccurate measurements, comparisons and interpretations of results.
>The ethnic differences between the two populations are clearly visible–the Chinese_56 template (constructed using Chinese population) is relatively shorter but wider compared to the widely-used ICBM152 brain atlas (based on Caucasian brains)."

Study compares Asian brain volumes, finds that Chinese have 6% larger brains by volume than Indians, 2.5% larger than Malaysians:

This study associates various genes to brain volume, and then finds the proportion of those genes in the various racial groups. Although they are hiding their data on brain volumes. Almost none of the genes associated with brain volume are the same between populations.
