Baltimore and Ferguson have shown us that there’s more to our differences than different amounts of melanin can explain.

We are taught that all humans belong to the species of (genus) Homo (species) Sapiens and to the subspecies of Homo Sapiens Sapiens. That all races and ethnicities are actually the same species and subspecies of modern human, i.e. Homo Sapiens Sapiens. However, if one digs deeper into this diversity within our species, several puzzling anomalies come to light. If a person’s race can be determined from his skeletal remains, and a person’s race, ethnicity and lineage can also be determined from their DNA, doesn’t it indicate that the different races and ethnicities represent different subspecies within (genus) Homo (species) Sapiens? If we saw this anomaly among any other animal group, we’d immediately recognize this as proof we were dealing with different subspecies. Some anthropologists now believe that modern humans are descendants of the several, at one time, extant subspecies of Homo Sapiens, with Europeans descending from Homo sapiens-neanderthalensis (Neanderthals).

Now, what would be the point in geneticists, scientists, researchers, and governments to lie or withhold this type of information from us? I think it is a crude attempt to promote world peace. If it is discovered that in fact, the different Human Races are actually different species, this may be justification for racism, genocide, and separatism.

Please. The different races are genetically different, but certainly not separate species (or even subspecies). There are certain genetic markers that are unique to various races, but those differences certainly are insufficient to prevent humans of differing races from reproducing viable offspring. If they were separate species, interracial couples would not be able to have children, which is obviously not the case.
