They may have gotten the premise, but the premise is still wrong.

Just two example, American Indians didn't discriminate against white women captured for the purpose of providing women to produce more children, and many a white slave owner didn't let their racism keep them from procreating with their slaves.

That's your response? You could have just moved along.

As if the thread was just about humans. Seriously, you folks need to step slightly outside of your P & OC boxes.

No you can move along.

Your belief that "like breeds with like" is illogical, based on nothing but racism and is completely irrelevant.

Yes, that's part of cultures.

But I was really referring more on the instinctual level. I wasn't very clear last night and I apologize for that.

Umm... no. Did you not read the two main thoughts that drive evolution?

Quote:
Generally, there are two schools of thought about what affects evolution," said Andrew P. Allen, Ph.D., a researcher with the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis in Santa Barbara, Calif. "One says the environment dictates changes that occur in the genome and phenotype of a species, and the other says the DNA mutation rate drives these changes. Our findings suggest physiological processes that drive mutation rates are important."
Nothing about interbreeding...

Sorry if truth offends.

But that's still the same species. Maybe the question would have just been best if it didn't have breeds at all. It does sound offensive.

I don't think it's in our genes. I think it's our environment and how we see and hear others relate to people. But I do think we will eventually evolve without voice boxes since texting and other forms of communications are taking over without actually speaking to each other. lol Sorry

Let's move forward as one planet.

To do that we head off to space. Will we be weary of the first species (aliens?) we come across? (Is that okay? Can I use these words? I'm not offending the PC crowd am I?)
