on 2005-10-26 01:36 (UTC)Reminds me of a comment in one of my primatology classes where we got off on the subject of "races", etc. Started because of the book "The Bell Curve" and my instructors anger at such crappy science making so much money. We went on to pretty thoroughly dismantle the entire book, as a learning opportunity on how to do science and how not to do science.
Anyway...the quote was "There is more genetic variation between some people of the same "race" in humans than there is between some people of very different "races". And indeed, there is more genetic variation among humans than there is between the rest of the great apes as a group.
