A race shares genes?

Your link doesn't work. {ABE}: This will work Races, perhaps (I don't know for sure), but Jews are not a race, they're a religious group, just like "Christian" is not a race, but a religious group.Edited by Huntard, : Added link

No problem mate, that's why it pays to preview your posts. No, that's a misconception often held by people, I mean, look at these pictures (from Message 269): You can't tell me they all share a gene in common that they only share with each oither, yet not with, say Muslims from Iraq, Christians from Ethiopia or Hindus from India.

Well, Just because he asked that question, I had my doubts, the second girl is probably from north Africa. The first one is a bit tricky, I guessed she'd be from somewhere in Asia, because of him asking the question, so I cheated a little (no, I'm not gonna tell you how ). It turns out, she's from the Philippines.Which is the point he was trying to make. It's not so easy to say that there is an "African" race, or an "Asian" race. For as you can see, the one with the lightest skin is actually from Africa, and thus, African. The darker skinned woman is from The Philippines, and is therefore Asian. Therefore, your proclamation of: Is wrong, other than in the sense that we of course all share African ancestors.

See, that is where you go wrong. She is in fact from the Ati people. They are not Africans we put there, they were already there when we (I mean the western world) discovered the Philippines. In fact, genetically, they are the most distantly removed from Africa peoples we have. (if that made sense, what I meant to say was that their DNA has the most differences of any ethnic group when compared to African DNA, with the Exception of one gene, that codes for dark skin, but that could easily have arisen a second time in a population, more different than ours, in fact). So no, she does not have "African blood" in her, in fact, she has even less than we all do (since you know, ultimately, everyone came from Africa).
