"Look at the people around you, look at different cultures": are you talking about races, or cultures? By the way, when I was younger and there was very little immigration here in Italy, I looked around me and saw people - whole families - with blond hair, with dark hair, with red hair. I saw people (and families) with blue eyes, green eyes, hazel eyes. I saw very tall people, very short people, very smart people, pretty dumb people. And there were people with very pale skin, medium skin, and pretty dark skin. So, how many "races" where there already? I'm under the impression that, when you talk about race, you really mean something like breed[1]. But there isn't selective breeding in humans - at least, that I'm aware of. So, the question is not moot. If you have to define "race" scientifically, how do you go about it? [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breed |
