I see, we can add the «Scandinavian race» and the «Greek race» to the lengthening list.

And of course the same argument can be applied to any two geographic regions, since their citizens will be «different» from each other, so we can add the «Denmark Race» the «Sweden Race» and the «Norway Race» too. And of course since genetic variation is clinal, we can't leave out the borders: we gotta distinguish the «Sweden/Norway Border Race» from the «Denmark/Sweden Border Race» too if we want to be scientifically accurate. And by the same logic any two cities will be different, giving us the «Stockholm Race» and the «Sverige Race». And within any of those cities we'll have gentically different families, so we then have the «Jagerskiold Race» and the «Filssunu Race». And within any family there will also be differences, so that we're now safe calling weird uncle Thorsten the sole member of his own personal, unique race, the «Weird Uncle Thorsten Race».

So how many intersecting races does that give us then, about 20 billion? My calculator conks out on me here.

Wow, so RA Fisher was wrong about heritability, and everybody else, too. Heritability is not a statistical property of a population, it's a developmental property of a single individual. Developmental biologists will be excited to find out that genes build half the brain, and the environment the other half.

You should write all these bold findings up and submit them to a journal, I guarantee the editor will frame the manuscript and hang it on his wall.

abaya, your posts are eloquent and authoritative. Thank you for taking the time and effort.
