A longstanding orthodoxy among social scientists holds that human races are a social construct and have no biological basis. A related assumption is that human evolution halted in the distant past, so long ago that evolutionary explanations need never be considered by historians or economists.


It's nice that there is actually some pushback stating the obvious. not only is race very real and right in front of your eyes every day, the science has advanced to the point where you can spend $100 at https://www.23andme.com/ and be told your racial composition quite accurately.

The denial of race is one more aspect of PC-conformity which demands you ignore what you actually see and suppress your anti-PC thoughts. sure, once again the sentiment is laudable (acknowledging the existence of race might lead to deterministic thinking about race) but we should put the truth above sentiment.

Far left extremists refuse to acknowledge the obvious reality of race because it would negate their beloved racism as the source of all group differences.

All of that exist simultaneously in india for more than 2,000 years atleast and now similar in usa.

North Indians near Himalayas are lighter, south india near equator lot darker, some are actually African migrants and jews, north east near china they look Asian, west look Iranian n Greek . Lot of it has to do with variations sun, and cold weather in mountain and desert, plus mixing

Most of those differences in India are simply inherited from the races that moved there and then mixed to some degree.
