I don’t disagree with that at all. I just don’t buy into a categorical declaration that there is no such thing as race.
Yeah, but those characteristics don’t certainly and uniquely identify a body as being of someone of a certain race.
Are we really to take seriously a cite that describes a classroom exercise where the length of a bone on a living person is estimated using a meter stick and then multiplied by a factor carried out to two decimal places?
There are some physical differences on average. Blacks legs tend to be slightly longer relative to their torso than Caucasions. Their skulls tend to be a little narrower as are their hips. However there is is a lot of overlap partly because there are many of mixed parentage. I doubt that any forensic pathologist would say that a skeleton with all of the above phyical traits was 100% certainly that of a black person. I’ve seen many Caucasians with long shin bones, and with narrow hips and skulls and blacks with long torsos and short legs.
To set the record straight, Reinhard Heydrich was assassinated by Czech paratroopers flown from Britain in Czechoslovakia (Prague ?) in 1942. In reprisal the Germans killed about 1600 Czechs including the entire population of the village of Lidice.
Pushkin only beat me by 13 hours.
Ok. How about this?
So you can identify common genetic traits by an exhaustive DNA analysis. I’m not sure how this allows classification by race based on external appearences.
I’ll have to re read the cite but it’s possible that there’s a little more to race than has previously been thought.
Of course if these guys are in any way associated with that right-wing Stanford think tank, all bets are off. 
Well, your statement was that “the entire concept of race is suspect.” Which is apparently not entirely correct.
See my edited post.
Right, then.

Re Hitler’s height: 5 feet 8 inches was about average for men of his generation.
That was my point, that Hitler at 5’8" was about average in height. I was replying to Atomicktom, who was apparently claiming that Hitler was 5’1’.
Yes indeedy, but how many testicles did he have
I did nothing of the sort. I said, “…as if a guy 5’1” was running around telling people that only tall people were worthy of being in charge." (emphasis added)
I believe I was attempting to make an analogy.
He was making an analogy. He was saying that a dark haired Hitler saying that only blondes should be in charge was as silly as a leader who was 5’1" saying that only tall people should be in charge. He wasn’t claiming that Hitler himself was 5’1".
But of course, Hitler never said that only blonds should be in charge. That is the misunderstanding here. “Aryan” does not mean “Nordic”.
You know, I don’t even know why I show up to threads…
I’d really like to give you the chance to explain this comment before I open I thread in the pit over it.
