Extragenetic learning systems are significantly more important than your genetics due to the speed at which they can change or adapt to an environment that changes much faster than we do genetically.

Race, the concept of race, or even vast genetic differences among peoples means nothing.

Being black or white does not mean the invention of the telephone.

Understanding, coping with and creating extasomatic knowledge is significantly more important for the survival of a group of people.

:. Genetic differentiation is inconsequential among human beings.

OP, why the fuck are you even posting this.

stormfags are just the white versions of afrocentrists.

I can at least KIND of understand why afrocentrists exist, but I have no idea why a bunch of white people feel the need to take credit for every non white invention on earth.

mind you, if you look at nordicism, you'll see something that's possibly worse than afrocentrism.

At the end of time, a moment will come when just one man remains. Then the moment will pass. Man will be gone. There will be nothing to show that we were ever here... but stardust.

Living forever is a fallacy, as it requires there to be such a thing as "forever".

Eventually, through boredom, random chance, or the inexorable march forward you will cease to exist. And then everything you did will eventually cease to exist, and everything you interacted with will cease to exist. And every single knock on effect of everything you have ever done will cease to exist. And it will be as if you never were.

No matter who you are, or what you've done. Eventually, It won't matter anymore.

>In the case of the Denisova sequence, the greatest similarities are with living people in Melanesia – in this paper, represented by genome samples from Papua New Guinea and Bougainville. The similarities are consistent with approximately 4% contribution of a Denisova-like population to the ancestry of these living Melanesians.
>The paper estimates that together, the Denisova and Neanderthal-derived genes account for 8% of the ancestry of these living people.

>The phylogenetic relationship of these Aboriginal Australians to a range of other global populations demonstrates a deep common origin with Papuan New Guineans and Melanesians, with little evidence of substantial later migration until the very recent arrival of European colonists.

How come people with Denisova ancestry were only found in people from a place that is tucked away and isolted from many other people like Papua New Guinea and not in a place that's near many other people like Iraq?

I spent my morning playing as the Prokhor, Believers to the north of me, Hive to the South.

Believers conquered the Spartans, we're almost twice my size.

HUGE WAR ENSUED. Thousands of units wiped out.

First time I've ever beaten the Believers in a slugfest.

Airpower will save you as the University.

But after much crippling warfare, my battle hardened veterans couldn't swing south fast enough to face the hive. I lost most of my researching universities and the Morganites took the tech advantage away from me.

Alpha Centauri recommended reading:

Alpha Centauri, The Nearest Star: Issac Asimov
-Published in 1976, this book is a bit dated but still contains a solid explanation of how we determined Alpha Centauri is the nearest star, plus additional details on the nature and structure of this trinary star system. You'll have a hard time finding it in a bookstore, you might have better luck with the juvenile section of your nearest library.

You failed pretty hard OP as your whole post was based on a number of faulty premises.

I think it's called a strawman, but it even falls short of being a strawman as you don't bother attempting to misrepresent our position, you simply assume it to be understood then begin your psudointellectual bullshit.

Culture is based on demographics not race, anyone who has ever watched PBS knows that. The OP has a great point in a philosophical sense but philphags don't belong here.

In terms of hard and soft sciences there are no differences between races.
