this is really fascinating stuff. I really didn't understand the Human Genome Project until watching this interview with Wade.

It's very clear from what Wade is saying here that he knows nothing about genetics past freshman level and yet he writes confidently in his new book about human evolutionary history.

Wtf are you talking about? Missing heritability is definitely not discussed in freshman genetics courses. Wade was an editor at Nature ffs. Just because you dislike the conclusions of "A Troublesome Inheritance" doesn't mean you can call the guy uneducated.

I'm not scared of Wade's new book. His science and anthropology are wrong. Nuff said. His book is a transparent attempt to fob off racism as scientific. In the 30s and 40s Hitler did what he did because we didn't know enough about genetics. Now that we do you fanatics say the science is wrong, or a conspiracy. That doesn't change the facts. Reality is still out there.

Edruezzi Reality cannot be changed whether you think it is 'racist' or not.

Wow, another lamb to the slaughter, or maybe I should say another son of the trailer parks for me to demolish. What do you know about reality? Can you label the parts of an atom? Tell me what messenger RNA is. Is reality what Jared Taylor and his webzine amren.com tell you it is? Please, Mr. Reality, could you tell us a little more about your educational attainments and qualifications, if any, and the component of that that consists of anything that would give you a sufficiently good command of genetics to digest the following? You have no real right to talk about race and reality if you do not understand genetics. Before you can talk about reality you have to make sure you understand scientific methodology. Most of the people who are most vociferous about the race question clearly do not, including Wade. Genetic research in the late 20th century refuted the notion that humans belong to unique biogenetic races. I worked it out for myself while watching some kids on a beach in Rio one evening. All humans originate from a small group that lived in Africa roughly 100,000 years ago. All evolution that has occured in any of those populations have to have been the result of natural selection and NOT any kind of perfectinv tendency or drive in white people toward higher levels (which is what racists usually have in their heads when they think about the evolution of their race and what Jared Taylor can't understand or does not want to understand. Take away American Rennaissance and its fanatical readers and the man is nothing, nobody). Well, how exactly did stone age technology make white people more advanced than other groups? Of course you either don't know all this or can't understand it, or think that's some more of that Jewish lying. Believe what you will. To paraphrase you, reality exists whether you call it Cultural Marxism or Jewish conspiracies or not. Do not lecture me about reality, therefore. Scientifically literate people, a group you seem not to belong to, are confident that the race question has been solved. Meanwhile, we're still waiting for the revolutionary content of Wade's book to hit us. I mean, the book hasn't changed the world.

Edruezzi A computer given a random sampling of bits of DNA that are known to vary among humans-from among the millions of them-will cluster them into groups that correspond to the self-identified race or ethnicity of the subjects. This is not because the software assigns the computer that objective but because those are the clusters that provide the best statistical fit. If the subjects' ancestors came from all over the inhabited world, the clusters that first emerge will identify the five major races: Asians, Caucasians, sub-Saharan Africans, Native Americans and the original inhabitants of Australia and Papua New Guinea. If the subjects all come from European ancestry, the clusters will instead correspond to Italians, Germans, French and the rest of Europe's many ethnicities.
