Is race just a myth?

Hence why it exists sociologically.

Very inspiring and sensible, but ultimately these quotes reflect a genuine belief in the seperation and distinction of human races. The differences between people across different regions and lineages is superficial. They are not as sharp as the difference between eagles and crows, although some people find such a notion appealing for some reason.

Color tone of skin is a sociological creation? Strange- I always thought it was biologically evolution response that modified melatonin levels in "races" of people?

You will have to put your reasoning back 100 years ago and further and remember that while First Nation's tried to get along and accept the alien invasions ways- their own was being punished and the cause for thier ethnic cleansing and genocide. Given that- what appeal would that leave for you?

No, the ability for people to categorise things into groups and generalise is a biological tendency; it alows us to give names to certain groups of objects, which is extremely useful. The categorisation of people into "races" according to appearance is a side-effect of this tendency, and it is a sociological phenomenon.

Differences in skin tone, face stucture, hair colour etc. are all gradual variations and you cannot actually come up with clear rules of how to categorise people into distinct groups using them as criteria.

Differences in culture, being artificial, are usually a lot more clear cut. So it isn't wrong to say that you are part of a Native American culture, but it is wrong to say that you are part of a Native American race.

No, race is a sociological construct.

Then you best have all of the biology books remove the term as it is used for all types of animals.
Unless you suggest animals have sociological construct for their differences.

In humans it is, not necessarily in animals. I've already covered this in previous posts.

If you don't believe me, then explain to me in detail what, specifically, is the biological meaning of race in humans.

Please link to a textbook or other recently published scientific source which says that non-human animal species are divided up into races.

Just because you don't like the term does not mean it is not used nor valid descriptor. It is used all of the time in ornithology. You can google it if you don't believe me.

Would be great to attend no?

Interesting, but this represents the opinions of a few researchers and not the whole scientific community. You should read my earlier posts about breeds and subspecies.

You'll have to link back- I could not find it. I think that people figure we just stop at the species level or perhaps even sub-species level. Animals and humans are simple yet very complex. As a biologist we are trained to start cataloging things.
