.The page is full of irrelevant mental gymnastics and no actual scientific data. Why is that? The page is full of irrelevant politically American subjective opinions and not actual scientific data. I added actual scientific data but my edit was reverted. Itisme3248 ( talk) 11:20, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
@ Rsk6400 @ Rsk6400 How did you come to the conclusion that the data is not scientific? I cited actual objective scientific data from actual studies that i cited but you subjectively called them "unscientific" and have reverted the data i added without even checking the sources. Please do not revert my edit again unless you have a valid reason. I cited actual important studies on population genetics that this page completely ignored Itisme3248 ( talk) 11:52, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Of these two sentences "Modern science regards race as a social construct, an identity which is assigned based on rules made by society. While partly based on physical similarities within groups, race does not have an inherent physical or biological meaning." Only the second is true, as no geneticist would ever agree that heritable cultural traits are a social construction with no biological basis. Please, revise. 2003:A:A0B:4100:44C3:A7AE:28C0:71E5 ( talk) 21:08, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
"do not support notion of genetically defined races" should be "support _the_ notion"? WilbaAtWikipedia ( talk) 03:02, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
The article claims there’s a consensus race is social construct, and links to a few statements. However the concept is used all the time in medicine. [1] It seems to me that the references used to support this claim are just one point of view. Mercatorial ( talk) 05:41, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
