It's held as face by many that all races are equal, but with no evidence to back this theory. Over 5,000 years of selective breeding separates the golden retriever from the pitbull with a 0.2% DNA difference. Over 60,000 years of selective breeding separates the white race from the black race with a 0.2% DNA difference. Also, when people say all races are equal in which way do they mean it? Are all races equal in beauty, intelligence, and creativity? Because history suggests otherwise.

There is but one race on the planet. You might look into the tracing of the human genome. The hard work has been done for you.

One race, ussens, the human race, good ole
Homo Sapiens Sapiens.

Another suggestion: find out what a 'theory" is then you won't misuse it when writing.

Your fact about about DNA is interesting but not exactly pertinent to the argument. Can you definitively say anything is not equal to each other. I would not say either the pitbull nor the golden retriever is better than the other. When comparing ourselves to each other can't we say that we have both survived as races and more importantly as humans over the years. Races were sort of developed by the spending of human life into new territories and then isolation. The "race" then evolved and adapted to their area. now the spread of human life and race is blurred because of the peed of transportation. Yet those who I believe are better are not drawn on the lines of race but instead those who can adapt and these people come from all different races.

The races aren't equal. This is just a fact. This does not mean that one race is superior to another, in fact quite the opposite. Different races have different strengths in just an evolutionary sense, to have adapted to the location in which they lived. This means with more or less melanin in their skin are like that because more or less melanin would help suit them to their environment. Dark eyes help you see better in the sun by blocking out a bit of the light. There are thousands of examples. All of this makes each race different and complementary to one another, and the fact is, a mixing of these races would be very helpful to mix together the strengths of each race for this integrated world. Have you ever noticed that muts live longer than pure-breds? This is for the same reason, that the different races/breeds complement each other and build up immunities to things both races/breeds have developed.

You cant;
even the "mainstream" races have sub races in which they expand on their own culture. No 2 races can completely match eachother to where it fits at perfect harmony. Cultures, traditions, physical traits, socioeconomic status, all differ depending.
Also perspectives on such things as beauty intelligence and creativity VARIES w/in each culture. A food that I wouldnt even feed to my dog might be considered a delicacy in another culture. What I may think is beautiful may seem trashy to other races.
Therefore, even though our biological makeup,and background (history,traditions,culture,dress,etiquette,etc) as a whole are NOT equal, every race is (or should) be equal to the freedom of choice, and also have the right to live up to ones own acceptance and free will.

Humans breeding isn't the same as dog breeding because human modified dogs by selective breeding like crops. But humans have copulated around with every one for only 200000 years and the differences is only adaption to climate We all come from the same successful world conquer, bounds and trade have been maintained between civilizations and nomad people through time. Creativity and intelligence is old and sheared by us all, the winning concept. Beauty is rare, many animals are prettier. History is because nature resources is spread unfair.

Equality is dependent on the values of which you place upon the scale.

If you value the ability to live in harmony with the environment in which they reside; then White men are clearly inferior to the natives which were in the Americas prior, the Aboriginal tribes in Africa and Australia; to name a few.

If you value destructive capability, then all people are equally capable of destroying each other. Though historically, white people (like my ancestors) have been more more successful in coming up with new ways of doing it.

If you have read Jared Diamond's 'Guns, steel' book; then you'd probably realize that it was just dumb luck that put white men in the position which we are in currently. Cattle, pigs, and other large animals were native to Mesopoamia when we started domesticating them; Oats, Wheats and other efficient complex carbs plants were also native to the area. The taro root, which most pacific tribes ate (still do, that's poy) is difficult to harvest and isn't very nutritious compared to wheat and oats.

It does not need to be proven for the fact is that ALL humans are equal just by the fact that they are human and NO ONE IS supierior to another. However, each group may have weaknesses such as being more subject to certain deseases, physiological defects and such but excell in strengths elsewhere. But that does not mean that they are inferior in any way, we all have strengths and weaknesses and it is within those that the equation factor is made. For instance a person cannot lift a heavy object but they excell in math whilst another may be able to lift a heavy object but be lousy in math. So I say Buddha, God, Mohommed as well as Shiva and Kwanza bless everybody and everything.

All races should be considered equal in a civilized society, yet ALL races are genetically different in both physicality, and in the way they think. The genetics of Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, Asians, etc. are dramatically different form each other, even resulting in differing ratios of disease and illness.

How can you prove they aren't. History does not suggest otherwise. That's just your opinion and you don't seem to be able to understand what you read but prefer to make unscientific absurd claims that fit your prejudices. Many people that are highly prejudiced are basically uneducated, not very intelligent, and certain not well traveled. Your question only shows your insecurities and your need to feel superior to another race when sadly, you don't qualify.
