It would seem to me that those with facts and rationality on their side would not have to resort to name-calling and vituperative vebiage. Why the nastiness? Are you trying to indimidate those whom you have not convinced by the logic of your points of view?
The out-of-Africa hypothesis is well-regarded. It indicates that the gene pool within Africa is quite varied, but other racial groups are very similar genetically. In fact, all humans are very similar - with a 99.99% overlap in genetic material.

I assume you’re talking about me. Well come on out and say so.
In any case, if folks would listen and address the argument, rather than repeating idiotic prattle then I wouldn’t have to get mean. Intimidation? Bother, I threaten no one, I simply blow off a little steam bec. I have no tolerance for stupidity. Now, you may not like it, but I really don’t give a fuck.
Now, anyone can see from the body of my posting that I address with all due respect rational arguments which address the data and facts. I treat with contempt people who willfully ignore the data, obscure the facts and spread ignorance. You can write that off to me being a bad person if you like, I don’t care. But you’d should deal with the data, which by now is readily accessible through the links etc.
Now, your last comment is obscure to me, are you saying there is genetic coherence by racial group. If so, I do hope you have something to support the position.
The technical term is “cognitive dissonance.” I think that explains most of the trouble Collounsbury’s readers are having.
Collounsbury, edwino, tomndebb, and Gaspode, I’ve enjoyed reading your posts to various race threads even though I haven’t been participating. I’ve really learned a lot more about the issue from your participation. I’d guess that you just see the punching bag-like behavior of a few skels who can’t get the notion that if they want to discuss the issue, every once in a while they’ll have to wrap their minds around a fact or two. I can understand your frustration, but I greatly appreciate your efforts, especially in the face of it.
I might also point out that most people are able to handle genetics when you’re talking about it in general. But when you talk about human genetics, you’re talking about THEM. It’s personal. Many people don’t like being reminded that we’re just apes with really big brains.
