>>12012191There are significant differences both phenotypically, genetically, and culturally. Why do you think there is a push for greater diversity in clinical trials for drugs? Why do you think there are numerous mutations causing unique conditions and genetic diseases in some ethnicities?
Perhaps the common racial categories of "black, asian, white, native australian, and hispanic" are not the most accurate groupings. But pseuds will use this caveat to imply that all racial science is bunk.
Well studied racial phenomena off the top of my head:
Reduced sweat glands in asians
Epicanthic fold in eyes of asians with mongolian descent
Greater oxygen capacity in tibetans
Higher susceptibility to high sodium diet in africans
Longer, thinner limbs suited for endurance in east africa
More fast twitch muscle fiber in west africans
More lactose tolerance in europeans
Less aldehyde dehydrogenase in southeast asians (asian glow)
Higher rates of cystic fibrosis among caucasians and ashkenazi jews
FSGS kidney disease more common among blacks
Sickle cell more common among middle eastern and african people
Lowest rates of balding among east asians
Higher MAO-A mutations (implicated in violence and aggression) among certain populations.
Intelligence is related to genetics, which is clear due to numerous twin studies, but it is far more complex to study, so simple genotypes cannot be pinpointed.
