“Race” is significantly more fuzzy than “species”.
There are edge cases where people will argue where to draw lines between species. However, it’s profoundly challenging to draw lines between “races” in the first place.
- naasking 4y agoCan you quantify how significant the fuzziness has to be before it should not be subject to analysis? Species is a lot fuzzier than you think.
- klodolph 4y ago> Species is a lot fuzzier than you think. As someone who, as a child, read books on the history of taxonomy and how taxonomy has changed over the centuries, I would love to hear you list what mistaken beliefs about species you claim that I have. Seriously, though. I am not interested in being the topic of conversation, so please do not make me the subject of your comments.
