Are black people and white people different?
We are all the same species (Homo Sapiens)But we are not all the same.There are persistent and real genetic differences that cluster within so-called racial groups, and more so than many have heretofore believed.Yet these differences still fall far short of indicating sub-speciation, which is the normal standard used by biologists to indicate different “races” or breeds of a larger species.DNA studies do not indicate that separate classifiable subspecies (races) exist within modern humans. While different genes for physical traits such as skin and hair colour can be identified between individuals, no consistent patterns of genes across the human genome exist to distinguish one race from another.It has never been a case of there not being differences between the way human beings look. The trouble is in the imprecise taxonomy. How do you define a “race” and might there not be other equally valid ways of dividing humans into taxonomical groupings ?Many scientists worked hard (REAL HARD) on finding working definition of race as a biological fact. They all failed. They all failed not because genetic differences can’t be observed between various humans (after all, if there weren’t mDNA differences, we wouldn’t know much about human maternal ancestry).They all failed because genetic differences do not support social races, races that divide people into (pardon my words) “black”, “white”, “yellow” and “red”.The only living subspecies of the species Homo sapiens is Homo sapiens sapiens. That is current scientific knowledge. And it is very likely to remain the only one, unless Sasquatch or the Yeti decide to walk into a science lab for a DNA test one day.There is a reason why blood transfusions and bone marrow transplants work. This is why a “black ” persons blood can save an white Irishman’s life with a transfusion and vice versa Some blood types have an affinity for certain groups of people…but the genes are the same.
Why do White people look so different and Blacks look the same?
we have eye and hair color to separate us. pale to average to tan to olive skin tones. We also have freckles and non freckles, clear skin and blush skin, straight nose, slopped nose, hooked nose, broad nose, thin lips, full lips(not like black peoples big lips but full which means just having some lips), straight hair, curly hair, wavy hair, round head, narrow head, square head, strong jawline, weak jawline, some are hairy, some are hairless. some are tall, some are short. etc. we got it all, baby!! just like when you mix a southern euro and a northern euro, excellence. blacks cannot have this diversity in their life. they all have the same features and look the same. Everyone can tell the difference between Northern Europeans, Western Europeans, Eastern Europeans or Southern Europeans.. You do realize this?
Why do black people have such a different smell from other races?
In certain parts of Africa people have more acidic sweat which helps protect them from strong UV rays. This is especially true when you get closer to the equator. Darker skinned people also tend to have more sweat glands. This includes people of African, Italian, Indian and Latin descent. People of Caucasian and Asian heritage have the least amount of sweat glands, Asian having the least of all. Men too, have more sweat glands than women so we tend to stink more, no matter what our race is. White people have more oil in their hair too, which gives off it's own "unique" aroma! I have been with women of all races and their hair does smell different, not in a bad way, it just is. Black people might not say it to white people but some of you smell 'different' to us too! Especially a few white dudes I have known have a particular odor that doesn't seem to bother them but that I find really gross. The interesting thing is, if a white or Asian person goes to Africa for example, their sweat will smell equally weird to Africans! The cologne and perfume we wear also really bothers them because they are not used to it. I am not joking, I have family from Africa and I went to visit them and they joked that white people stink! All I could think was "Yeah...and you guys stink too!" LOL! So no, it is not your imagination. But before you judge others too quickly, remember that YOUR scent could smell equally weird to them!
