Is race actually real or a social construct. I been debating the subject with friends and I just wanna know if it's science?

You ever notice that people in your family share similar features? Race is just like that but on a larger scale.

>> No.10354122

One of my friends believes that race in humans is analogous to breed in dogs. In both, there is a difference in appearance (on average), intelligence (on average), and temperament (on average).
You can easily find *one* Dachshund that's smarter than *one* German Shepherd. But not on average.
Which breed of dog is 'better'? That depends on whether you want to hunt badgers or herd livestock.

There are physical differences between the races. The way we treat race is a social construct, not race in itself.

Depends whether you consider statistical averages to be "real" or not. Further, any discussion on it should bare in mind the golden truth that averages cannot be applied to individuals.

Mostly real, but more blurry and overlapping than traditional notions of separated races. Pic shows what human genetic variation really looks like.

Just because it's a social construct doesn't mean it's not real. Fucking brainlets I swear to God...

Words are social constructs, therefore nothing is real.

Put a white person, an asian person and a black person in the same room.
Can you distinguish their race?
If yes, then you have the answer to your retarded question.

>> No.10354680

The science is settled. It is a social construct.
Anything else is rooted in bigotry and ignorance.

Are natives the most evolved race?

That's not entirely accurate. There are physical differences between groups of people, but those groups don't correspond perfectly to the lay concept of race which divides them according to skin colour.
