When will science start recognising races again and start studying the different social behaviours of different races? It's very frustrating seeing this obvious reality being ignored in every field where humans are involved. We would be much better off knowing that certain people react and comprehend in different ways when it comes to certain tasks and ways of conduct, or who don't comprehend them at all, instead of just forcing the same behaviours on all humans.

Nothing is perfectly non-arbitrary. Why not use the same logic as for differentiating subspecies of animals? Like say, if one group appears primarily in northern Europe and has a fair coat and another group appears primarily in Subsaharan Africa and has a dark coat, there is zero chance these wouldn't be classified as two different subspecies.

Here’s a better question.
Would you support moving beyond blanket descriptors like “white, black, and Asian” and following this field to its absolute conclusion?
You’re probably only so vested in this because you believe yourself to be at the “top” of the hierarchy, but this would almost certainly change if you moved beyond the elementary versions of this.

I've read something interesting on the topic recently, about how one of the origins of racism in its modern form stems from the time of slavery, when white indentured servants and black salves showed solidarity with each other. A racial wedge was driven between them, so they wouldn't fight their oppressors together. So even if you had a pitiful existence that was almost slavery in all but name you could still feels superior based on being white and would fight to suppress black slaves, instead of joining them to end their and your own oppression.
Not so different from today, now that I think about it.

This doesn't relate to scientific race study. And what you describe is the Virginia surrection in the late 17th century which only resulted in the abolition of slavery for white males during the early 18th century.

That is also arbitrary. If there isn’t even a good definition of subspecies how do you expect to come up with one for race?

There isn’t zero chance of that, there are literally hundreds of examples of that. Coastal brown bears from Alaska are twice the size of inland grizzlies from Montana and have different shaped skulls but are the same subspecies. Barbary lions had dark manes that covered half their body while Indian lions have gimpy yellow neckbeards yet they’re still the same subspecies. Fur colour is the last thing anyone would use to designate subspecies

Are you really, really sure you want to poke this ant hill? You may not like the answer you get. Let's outline. There are physical differences which separate one mind from another. Via mental architectural, physical substrate abilities, etc. Not all minds are equally able to replicate themselves. More efficient minds can replicate themselves much easier than simple minds. There is no apparent mechanical reason life cannot adapt to the harsh uncaring universe and therefore displace other, more fragile life, like.. us.

Just the act of replication isn't enough. You need to steer trajectories into the future. You can't predict the future, nobody can with total accuracy. But, you can model it. Minds better able to model a future timeline with accuracy are better able to persist. It's just uneducated guessing really, but the search space of life on the planet is yuge enough that at some point a pattern will emerge which is able to predict events based on current states and different vectors. Your common or garden retard ain't going to do well in this competitive space which rewards actual success and not the longing for success.

It's just an ancestry-based categorization system that explains genetic trait variation. It gives you more information so that you can make accurate guesses about how populations function and their trait distributions.

If you're referring to intelligence differences and the like, then people have understood this since way before the Atlantic slave trade.

Egyptians understood race 3500 years ago.
Al Jahez, in 9th century Iraq, understood race differences and referred to the Black Africans as the "least intelligent and least discerning of mankind and least capable of understanding the consequences of actions." He wrote that more than 1000 years ago.
al-Masudi, in 10th century Baghdad, referred to Blacks as "people of black color, flat noses, kinky hair and little understanding or intelligence."

Don't pussyfoot around the subject. The thread started on the already tenuous topic of race-based differences in behavior, implying a causal link between genetic "racial" groups and how people act rather than going for something like culture or ethnicity-both of which have an implicit extragenetic dimension of inheritance. I don't even deny the existence of race or racial differences but when the TQ is a thinly veiled "why do black people act like niggers?" one must also ask the question "why do white people act like niggers too?"

>something like culture
"Fuerst noticed that BW*culture_load is mediated by g while the reverse does not stand. I confirm this. Adding to this, we can see that culture load is also (partially) mediated by inbreeding D, or by Gf, or by SES_bio in the prediction of BW difference. The picture below is self-explanatory.
regression-analysis-bw-wisc-with-culture-and-gf-or-g-or-inbreeding-d-o r-ses_bio
When using BW-WAIS difference (instead of BW-WISC) the picture looks the same for the effect of g, Gf and SES_bio which fully mediate culture in its relationship with g. However, inbreeding D had a regression coefficient of zero, not surprising since we know that inbreeding*BW-WAIS bivariate correlation was also zero. With regard to h2, there were ambiguities because h2 fully mediates culture in the prediction of BW-WAIS gap when at the same time culture fully mediates h2 in the prediction of BW-WISC gap. In general, and perhaps due to unreliability issues, there is actually no certainty that indices of heritability mediate culture*BW correlation."
"One particular feature of the Wechsler data on black-white difference that does not fit Kan’s theory is that the BW gap is larger on Block Design than it is on Vocabulary (see also, Jensen, 1980, pp. 529-530), and yet Kan (2011) evaluates the cultural loadings of BD at 0.01 and Vocabulary at 0.35. Furthermore, the cultural loadings of all of the Performance (assumingly Gf) subtests are of same magnitude (close to zero), and yet, the BW gap correlates positively with g-loadings among the Performance subtests. The magnitude of the correlations does not even change."

>For the serotonin transporter gene, East Asians are significantly more likely to have the short “S” allele (5-HTTLPR) compared to Europeans who are relatively more likely to have the longer “L” allele, which may be a contributing factor to the more collectivist culture in East Asia versus the more individualist culture in Europe.

"Culture–gene coevolutionary theory posits that cultural values have evolved, are adaptive and influence the social and physical environments under which genetic selection operates. Here, we examined the association between cultural values of individualism–collectivism and allelic frequency of the serotonin transporter functional polymorphism (5-HTTLPR) as well as the role this culture–gene association may play in explaining global variability in prevalence of pathogens and affective disorders. We found evidence that collectivistic cultures were significantly more likely to comprise individuals carrying the short (S) allele of the 5-HTTLPR across 29 nations. Results further show that historical pathogen prevalence predicts cultural variability in individualism–collectivism owing to genetic selection of the S allele. Additionally, cultural values and frequency of S allele carriers negatively predict global prevalence of anxiety and mood disorder. Finally, mediation analyses further indicate that increased frequency of S allele carriers predicted decreased anxiety and mood disorder prevalence owing to increased collectivistic cultural values. Taken together, our findings suggest culture–gene coevolution between allelic frequency of 5-HTTLPR and cultural values of individualism–collectivism and support the notion that cultural values buffer genetically susceptible populations from increased prevalence of affective disorders. Implications of the current findings for understanding culture–gene coevolution of human brain and behaviour as well as how this coevolutionary process may contribute to global variation in pathogen prevalence and epidemiology of affective disorders, such as anxiety and depression, are discussed."

This is an 'ice cream sales and people that get crushed by vending machines' correlation.
There's no actionable mechanism attached to that allele that causes any effects germane to the claim.
Beyond that, you're relying on subjective judgments for said societies. "China is collectivist!", except there are common memes about the Chinese not caring about one another and having no empathy for people dying or being injured or being proud about cheating at any given activity, among others. All individualistic and anti-social desires.
Comparatively, the Scandinavians could easily be called extremely collectivist via their Law of Jante and similar cultural ideals.
What an awful study. Weak criteria, and then an allele selected as a causal agent that can't cause the thing that it is claimed to be connected to.

It effects hormone levels. Also, so what? If it's predictively valid, then it's predictively valid. "But you need a mechanism to explain everything!" Is a bad argument against predictive validity.
"To determine the specificity of the association between 5-HTTLPR and individualism–collectivism, we conducted a multiple regression analysis with population frequency of S allele carriers as the criterion variable and cultural values of individualism–collectivism as well as four other well-known cultural values, specifically power distance, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity–femininity and long–short-term orientation, as predictor variables. Results indicated that the cultural value of individualism–collectivism was the only significant predictor of the frequency of S allele carriers of 5-HTTLPR across 22 nations (β = 0.52, p < 0.02) (table 1)."
"Second, we sought to determine whether the frequency of S allele carriers predicts cultural individualism and collectivism by conducting a multiple regression analysis with individualism–collectivism as the criterion variable and frequency of S allele carriers, as well as four other economic and health factors previously associated with individualism–collectivism including GDP per capita, inequity in the distribution of wealth (Gini index) as well as historical and contemporary pathogen prevalence as predictor variables (Fincher et al. 2008). Results indicate that allelic frequency of S carriers was the only significant predictor of individualism–collectivism across 29 nations (β = 0.61, p < 0.002) (table 1)."

When the allele being measured has nothing to do with individualistic vs collectivist beliefs in any other study, yeah. It is spurious.
You could replicate this exact study by measuring limb vs trunk proportions or nasal length or genes related to ear wax properties, because all it is, is digging for some genetic characteristic that appears to be more common in China than in Europe.
Its exactly on the level of claiming that people buying ice cream leads to more deaths from vending machines. And then working backwards to justify that.
And going further, the study is reliant on a faulty and shallow categorization of societies to create its basis of collectivist vs individualistic.
