    This guy’s on a whole other level, citing misleading pseudoscience to claim human races are entirely different species, akin to wolves and coyotes. Meanwhile a random black person will often be more genetically similar to a random white person than another black person.

    There’s more genetic variation between 2 communities of chimpanzees separated by a river than all genetic variation in 8 billion humans. Zero basis for us being different sub-species, let alone species. Humans might have diverse phenotypes, but we’re extremely genetically alike compared to other species.

      Seems like an impossible task to somehow make these clowns understand just how little time humans have been around for and how much intercommunity sex has characterized our relatively short history
