Apparently National Geography predicts that (pic related) is what human beings will look like in 2050 (obv. it'll be different for males, but you get the idea).

I don't really give a shit about race mixing but I have one question in terms of species survival.

With diversity actually disappearing with race mixing, could the human race go extinct if there was say, another ice age because there aren't people who are adapted to the cold and have the physical adaptations to survive the cold? Or vice versa with heat?

Its so easy
1.convince everyone to mate everyone with most distant genetics.
2.tens of thousands of years to achieve uniform distributions of traits.
3.somehow prevent emergence of distinct geographically segregated groups.
4.remove groups of genetic mutants(in sense of valid mutations, e.g. red hair) from global populations.
5. enforce constant migration to achieve uniform genetic distribution.

First of all All human races are able to survive in a diverse variety of climates ( the genetic and physical differences in humans is not large enough to sway this much of an effect on a populations survival if this happened ) Also that's Implying that Humans will race mix enough in 40 years to the point where the MAJORITY of the human race is mixed to that point which is highly debatable


Seriously dude though the outer physical appearance of a human being has probably little or no effect on the persons ability to survive in a certain environment. Caucasians originally evolved to be able to adapt and survive in colder and more rigid climates ( light skin hair and eyes depending on area, a longer nose and different kind of genes that process certain chemicals differently ( but this is a very small variation is a very small pool of potential effects ) and now we see Caucasians living in all parts of the world in some parts that are supposedly warm that is if you believe in the evolutionary theory ( adaption by need therefore implying the nature of humans is that everything is an Need in a certain perspective whether objective or subjective ) ex humans came from monkeys because we needed to develop higher senses and functioning to change in an ever changing world ( IF you believe in evolution and adaptation through change once again as based off a needs of need ) or on a smaller scale and in a more subjective manner humans adapt their behaviors and thoughts according to there changing environments and surroundings which are ever changing according to the perception of humans ( Humans adapt the environments to themselves unlike animals or beings without a higher conscious and reasoning which allows us to have higher judgement and understanding of how things happen and gives us the ability to have drive and want to change what is around us for the better good )

The answer to your incredibly retarded question is NO, RETARD. Human phenotypes DON'T MATTER as much as animal phenotypes because we are FUCKING HUMANS AND OUR SURVIVAL TRAIT IS OUR ENORMOUS BRAINS THAT ALLOW US TO MAKE SOMETHING THAT HELPS US SURVIVE.

And unless we somehow devolve back to being fucking pea-brained animals OUR PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS ARE NOT RELEVANT TO OUR SURVIVAL.

But that's not it. That makes diversity. Humans are still pretty segregated. The world is getting smaller. This makes a wider variety of mates accessible to people. Where as 200 years ago, you had to bone whoever was closest to you, within a small geographical area.

It's going to take a really long time before fucking anyone in the world is considered inbreeding and therefore detrimental. A lot longer than 2050.

No, but certain novel pathogens may do the trick. If there is a loss of certain allelic combinations at viable frequencies, due to lets say non-proportional interbreeding populations as we have now, we could lose the groups that have immunity and the species could go extinct. One such example that comes to mind is the clinically relevant duffy antigen which is negative for ~90% in Africans while almost entirely positive everywhere else, couple this with many other alleles that may need to interact for immunity and we could lose the key group that survives such a pandemic.

It's funny how much we focus on the conservation efforts of nonhuman species but have no thoughtful consideration to our own. What's worse is not only does this society not consider such a thing it thinks of it as the worst thing possible even if people voluntarily would like to do so without harming others.

Africans are the gene-seed of human diaspora.

Thus, they've the greatest range of genetic diversity of any given race population.

As a result, dominant phenotypes are expressed at comparatively higher frequency in Africans across most traits; whereas diaspora populations, which tend to represent a more 'inbred' sample of their ancestral African population, have a comparatively higher incidence of expressing recessive allele for any given trait.

While offspring of a mixed couple might be 50/50 split in terms of alleles from each parent, the offspring will still appear more like the parent with higher frequency of dominant alleles.
