>(Natural News) A landmark study recently published in the journal Science has finally put to rest the phony concept of “race,” proving that all people, regardless of their skin color, are essentially the same.
>The only thing that really differentiates one person from another is genetic expression, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania found, and this expression varies widely even within individual people groups. In Botswana, for instance, there exist hunter-gatherers with fair, or “white,” looking skin. Conversely, there are people of European descent who have darker-colored skin.
>It all has to do with unique genetic variants that determine the quantity and type of pigmentation that shows in a person’s skin. These variants are wide-ranging and biologically diverse, illustrating that dividing people along the lines of skin color and saying that they belong to different races is a non sequitur.
>After pinpointing eight genetic variants in four specific regions of the human genome that play a major role in skin pigmentation, the researchers who worked on the study found that such variations are a universal phenomenon. They exist all across the world and in every culture, and are not, as many people falsely believe, constrained to any particular “racial” group.
>This groundbreaking finding, as pointed out by Dr. Sarah A. Tishkoff, a geneticist at UPenn, absolutely “dispels a biological concept of race.”
So race is now only about skin pigmentation now? Last time I checked there were differences between each race that involved more than just skin. Post pics/studies that show scientific differences between races.
