The blue eyes, blond hair, dark skin, frizzy hair and other traits are a result of our evolution from adapting to the environment.<br /><br />Thanks for the book recommendation.Cranksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466770053258278747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880642673087161290.post-10345448251194472592011-06-12T01:20:18.983+08:002011-06-12T01:20:18.983+08:00Dear Ms Cranky

The pseudo-science was used to rank the “races”, with Caucasians at the top, Asiatics in the middle and blacks at the bottom. All used to justify enslavement, exploitation, conquest and colonialism.<br /><br />“Race” is a social construction. We humans differ only in the ideas which we carry around in our heads (cultural ideas, including religion). There are only “ethnic groups” (which differ culturally) and no such thing as “races”.<br />There are only differences in gene frequencies in so-called "racial groups".<br /><br /><br />See the late Harvard Prof Stephen Jay Gould’s book “The Mismeasure of Man” for the history of “scientific racism”.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
