Re: A definition of racism
Lubenow's thesis leads one to conclude that the division of the whole human race into different and separate species by evolutionists is merely a racist ploy to argue that some primitive African people (Homo ergaster, rudolfensis, erectus or habilis) were direct decendents of some species of African apes.
I take it that you are saying Lubenow's thesis led YOU but not ME to conclude that the attempts at classifying fossils is merely (i.e. only?) motivated by a desire to establish descent and that calling this racism makes it a bad thing comparable to the kinds of political persecutions we've seen in this country (the USA) as well as around the world?
My reading of your posts leads me to conclude you will use whatever emotional rhetoric supports a conclusion you emotionally like and you prefer this kind of rhetorical emotional self soothing to actually thinking about science and evidence. You've not given a satisfactory explanation of Lubenow's theory though I suspect Charles is correct that Lubenow is not qualified.
This is not science at all, it's a rhetorical exercise attempting to smear Darwin and TOE. It's been done before. So? Science is still going on in the labs and in the field. If you have anything of scientific interest, please produce it.
What you've done so far is try to influence by labeling with emotionally laden words like "racism" and "ploy" and shown no evidence that would even make this position scientifically debatable.

lumpers and splitters!
whether we lump them altogether in the same species is largely irrelevant.
Oh NO! Say it's not true! Lumpers vs. splitters is the very soul of academic debate and now you say it's irrelevant?! Aren't careers made and broken over these crucials distinctions? ***shudders***
