Races do not exist!, cry very concerned and repeated endlessly learned professors of anthropology, sociology, ethnology even. On the one hand, if one knows to this guild, know that these individuals are generally not exalted by the discovery of truth but, more commonly, by grants or awards. On the other hand, if one is not impressed by titles bearing these characters and looks, therefore, the various arguments that accompany this singular statement that he realizes are neither more nor less, than a collection of fallacies, and various types of fur, of which some occur laugh and others cringe. fleecy and impressionable people often use quotes from these people learned to say that ... the races do not exist! They show just like that, only his impressionability and as a result of mackerel, easy to engage in one of the most common fallacies are: the fallacy of authority. But always know intellectual authorities may share false beliefs.
I do not impress me at all doctoral degrees in anthropology or whatever, I will always the argument and I do not care who says it, whether what he says is for better or for worse.
An example of such appointments widely argued ad nauseam oenegetas by anti-racism and ideologues of the self is this:
"Races do not exist, neither biologically nor scientifically. Men for their common origin, belong to the same genetic code. The variations that we observe are not the result of different genes. If "race" is involved, there is only one "race" human. "
José Marín Gonzales "biogenetically races do not exist, but racism itself as an ideology", in Revista Educational Dialogue, v. 4, n.9, May-August 2003, pág.109 . can be found here .
Excursus: I encourage any readers to that, even for fun, read the article quoted in full. Conceptual confusions are common, semantic shifts as well. Analytical rigor is minimal and everything is grossly oriented moral conclusion of the goodness of multicultural states. I will not bother to analyze all this because, As you will that you read the article, are too basic errors. But I do want to point something out. The undersigned hereby certifies that article the following merits: doctor in anthropology from the University of La Sorbonne and graduated from the Institute for Advanced Studies Latin American in Paris, a graduate of the University Institute of Studies Development and the International Academy of the Environment in Geneva. He has taught at the University of Geneva and currently works with various institutions and publications in Europe and America America. He has worked in Africa, with the UNESCO. Read their merits and read the article; from now, no one intimidate the merits anyone can claim. What level has dropped by academia in what disciplines?
This argument, compared with the already refuted Lewontin's fallacy, is nothing. This doctor in anthropology do not know where and what will be studied. Or what interests you. But I know what makes two traps to lend verisimilitude (appearance of truth) to the false statement:
1) pretends not to know the difference between race and species.
2) omits any consideration about the function of genes.
Topic apart is the difference, quite artificial here, which provides between biology and science, as if biology were not a science in itself. I to enter here the adverb "science" is merely an additional way to lure the impressionable.
But instead of influencing it, we will contest more fun now. Another doctor, the Palotes Perico, who studied a lot, but who wants to get many grants and much recognition in some university departments dominated by Marxists, and liberals want the sheep will cite him as if he were a scholar in genetics, deliberately confused (away to students of reality), not race with species such as Gonzales before, but species with gender (next step in the taxonomy).
Before proceeding is necessary to use cladistic taxonomy and see where is located the modern man. I, unlike these cheats teachers and doctors, informed the public that needs to be informed so that you can think for themselves and not believe things just because. He who does not need this information to skip this paragraph. Where do we stand as a species? (as cladistic taxonomy) belong to the family Hominidae , The subfamily Homininae , tribe hominin , subtribe hominin, with five genera ( Ardipithecus, Australopithecus , Kenyanthropus , Paranthropus and Homo ), the genera are divided into species belonging to the modern man Homo sapiens .
is known that within the genus Homo have been different species: Homo habilis , Homo erectus, Homo neanderthalensis , Homo sapiens , which is the current, etc.
Now, using the mode of reasoning utterly failed in our first Ph.D. in anthropology, our second doctor, the Palotes Perico, could demonstrate the absence of these species and that a Neanderthal (Homo neanderthalensis ) equals a Cro-Magnon (Homo sapiens ). There goes (it replaces the crossed out the statement by Gonzales is so bold, now that the Palotes Perico):
"The races species not exist, or biologically or scientifically. ( Men) All individuals of the genus Homo by their common origin, belong to the same genetic code. The variations that we observe are not the result of different genes. If 'races' "species" it were, there is one 'race' "species" : the human Homo ".
the Palotes Perico "races exist but do not tell anyone," Lying in Money Magazine , No. 15, January 2011, pg. 118. Parakeet Drumsticks for a doctorate in anthropology from the University of the Relativistic gibberish.
