Entry: What's So Scary About Evolution?--For Both Left and Right, a Lot Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/whats_so_scarry_about_evolution#27250 Post contents: Oh, boy, Mr. Derbyshire talking about race again. I've asked him a few questions that he NEVER had the answers for. Questions like: How many, scientifically delineated races are there? He couldn't answer this simple question, and ended the discussion with the idiotic notion that since West Africans can win 100-meter dashes over other people, they must be different race. When I asked why can't the stringy East Africans win at 100-meter dashes and if they constitute separate race from West Africans, he never replied back. Mr. Derbyshire, like all these "race realists," are just using crack-pot, non-scientifically based notions of "race" to reinforce mid-20th century prejudices. Don't let his erudite references fool you--he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. Sent at: 2008 12 01
