Entry: From the Rubble Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/from_the_rubble#23089 Post contents: Sorry to have to go over this again. Those who wish to discuss race and genetics need to cite their credentials, and cite them in way so that we can confirm them. In other words, they need to tell us 1. their degree in organic chemistry, the institution that granted the degree, and the year of the degree 2. their degree in cell biology, the institution that granted the degree, and the year of the degree 3. their degree in Mendelian genetics, the institution that granted the degree, and the year of the degree 4. their degree in molecular genetics, the institution that granted the degree, and the year of the degree I have no such degree, AND I am not the one claiming that the DNA of skin color determines anything of importance. Boyd Cathey is. Let him tell us his credentials. And the credentials of anyone else making such claims. (don't hold your breath) What is more, such people making such claims need to isolate for us in the human gene makeup the "music" gene for Germans, the "painting" gene for Italians, the putative "alcoholic" gene for Celts, the "firearms" gene for the Scots Irish, and the putative "stupid" gene for "Blacks". Of course, no such gene exists. Therefore skin color means zero -- or about as much as eye color. Sent at: 2008 07 06
