Species
Forget RACES, Forget SubSpecies. These are destracters.Biologically speaking Species is defined as organisms which through the exchange of genetic information produce Viable Offspring. For mammals (and that includes Homo sapiens) the exchange of genetic information is achieved through s*xual Intercourse.
Yes, interbreeding is possible across species lines, as in the case of a Horse and Donkey producing a Mule. But the Mule is sterile, ergo can not be considered a Viable Offspring.
For those who think Phenotypic Expressions like skin color, hair texture and eye shape define a species are flat out wrong. Humans are humans, the world around. Blue Eyed Blondes are NOT genetically superior. Nor are the sons of millionaires and billionaires.
Lastly this not a discussion about the use of cryspr to edit genes and the ramifications thereoft.
IF you think otherwise - get over yourself.

I wonder if you have been a member of the North American society because the opposite of that statement is TRUE (at least most have been brain wash to believe it to be so).
If there are no countries, races, ethnic origins, or any other differences then we don't get to experience and enjoy difference.
It seems an odd argument, in order to avoid fear of difference that we pretend it doesn't exist, or try to eradicate it.
Although I agree the mortuary slab is a great leveller, it's also a rather boring one.
I'd rather talk about difference, than sameness. It's more complex and interesting.
I like the diversity of the worlds humans
Much the same can be said for cultural differences - USA's history of welcoming immigrants to its doors has made this country far stronger and far more interesting place to live.
It was just what direction we took in that fork on the road after that.
One more thing - just because science calls something a Theory does not mean it is NOT well proven. Gravity, for instance, is a Theory because it, like Evolution, is open to further exploration.
The Bible's contents, contrary wise, are considered beyond dispute. It's proof lying the undying faith individuals like yourself. No matter how faith you have, gravy will pull you down and evolutionary pressures will continue shaping the future.
Sorry my connection is still giving problems...
Anytime you wish you are free to stop using science based technologies like the internet and the phone.
