I was just trying to suggest that if subject C is related to subject B,and subject B is related to subject A,then it follows that C is also related to A,both A,B and C are related and there is no need for fine distinctions.
- w1ntermute 15y agoIn that case, humans and bananas are the same, right? No need for fine distinctions. After all, 50% of our DNA is the same. The fact that sub-Saharan Africans are not of partial Neanderthal descent while every other race is does create the possibility that there are fundamental genetic differences between them and all other races. However, proving any such differences would be near impossible. What's racist is to claim that such differences exist when not a shred of scientific evidence for such a claim exists.
- ekm 15y agoThe similarities between these three DNAs is in the high 90s,which is pretty different from the 50% that you are talking about
- burgerbrain 15y agoThe "high 90s" that humans and neanderthals had in common is dwarfed by what all humans have in common with each other. These distinctions are not the product of anyones imagination.
