“I know perfectly well, just as well as all those tremendously clever intellectuals that in the scientific sense there is no such thing as race. But you, as a farmer and cattle-breeder, cannot get your breeding successfully achieved without the conception of race. And I as a politician need a conception which enables the order which has hitherto existed on historic bases to be abolished and an entirely new and anti-historic order enforced and given an intellectual basis... With the conception of race, National Socialism will carry its revolution abroad and recast the world.”—Adolph Hitler

...your mistake is that you used logic, which is symptomatic of white privilege, therefore, you are a racist pig. You are supposed to automatically submit to your betters.

I'm not an apostrophe addict, but shouldn't the paragraph read:

You are supposed to automatically submit to your "betters."

Rub their nose in it is my motto!

There's something about wolves and dogs that's different.

Wolves bear pups once a year; whereas, domestic dogs can breed twice in the same time period.

There may be other differences: Stone Age man didn't bury wolves with dog dishes and dog toys.

Any anthropologist can look at a skull and determine one of (at least) three races of Homo sapiens. It's recognized in forensic circles.

Hard to tell whether this is creditable research that advances any positives for society, or whether its just more propaganda aiming to equate everyone for socialist, anti-white, anti-achievement purposes.

They got to figure out if they are testing purebreds. Because mutts are going to screw up the results.

Nonsense. There’d be more exceptions than clear ID’s.

In my life I have made only one observation about race.
The HUMAN RACE only does two things really well;
1: F#CK
and
2: FIGHT
All people seem to be the same at that basic level.

LEFTIST/PROG/LIBS don’t DARE to believe in genetics!
Believing in genetics means you can prove beyond any doubt WHO IS A MAN and WHO IS A WOMAN!

If I recall correctly those folks who developed sickle cell anemia were more resistant to malaria.
That person, in a tropical climate where there is lots of malaria has an advantage for living.
That same person, in a temperate climate where malaria is not a problem has a genetically linked disease.
GOD don’t make no junk.

“biomedical researchers”?

Are these the same folks who can’t tell males or females by their external or internal plumbing?

You are correct, I thought about it, but was in a hurry. Taking a break from working on my tractor.

Why does Slate even use the word “science”?

They are dumbass journalists - and poor ones at that.

Looking at the responses, I am confused so that conservatives would be defending race as a construct.

We only one race: The Human Race.

We’re NOT dogs, cats or other animals that were bred for different temperaments and abilities. We all possess the biggest brain in the animal kingdom, and if taught how to use logic, discernment and how to overcome our emotions and feelings to look at the evidence, we’re all capable of so much!

That’s why we don’t care whether someone is black or white like the democrats do; they think blacks must all think the same lockstep idea that everything is whitey’s fault. No, we conservatives accept all great thinkers, such as Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, or Candace Owens, and don’t even consider their race or color.

It’s what’s in their heads and hearts that matters.

“The proportion of human genetic variation due to differences between populations is modest, and individuals from different populations can be genetically more similar than individuals from the same population.”
