    ls it genetically right to have children with someone of another race, after all it is only the colour of skin and culture which serperates them or differeates them, so surely it is, but Ive heard things.

    Biologically speaking all people are of the same race.

    Speaking of individual races of humans is a social thing not a scientific thing.

    What things have you heard, exactly? It is genetically right for a human being to have children with another human being, period.

    Marriage is wrong - Love is right. And real love can't be limited by the color of your skin.

    this is actually untrue...there are physical differences in skull structures between races. meaning we are different. we are all still human and this doesnt necessarily mean we have different mental capacities, but we tend to be physically different.

    There are physical differences in every individual creature in every species that exists on earth. So yes, what you're saying is true. But that's not the point of this thread. The point is is it genetically correct to mate outside one's race? The answer is yes, because no matter what our differences are, whether they be height, color, skull structure, we still all carry the same basic blueprints within us.

    hmm the only way i would say it might be better to have children with someone of the same race instead of a different one is if you are still in your ancestor's land... because the differences in genetics are like that because they've adapted to the area... but in modern times it doesn't matter really does it? we have fans and big coats and sunscreen and medicine and testing (anemia) and etc etc so i don't think biology is anything really worth considering unless there are genetic diseases... which come in all races anyway

    genetically it doesn't matter.


    it probably does make it slightly harder for the kid growing up though

    Wikipedia on Craniofacial Anthropometry:

    That craniofacial anthropometry is not as replicable as other ways of tracking human variation makes its findings difficult to explain.
    Here is a trivial example: imagine that you are handed a U.S. skull and asked to determine whether the person was White, Black, or Asian (that is, European-American, African-American, or Asian-American). Place the skull face down on a tabletop. Now try to rock it from side to side. If it fails to rock, but instead sits high on its cheekbones, with a face too flat to let the nose portion touch the table, then the chances are that it is of east Asian ancestry. If it rocks from side to side because the midline of the face protrudes past the cheekbones like the bow of a boat, then it is probably of either African or European ancestry. Now stand the skull upright so that it rests on the neck opening. If the face slopes down and forward because the mouth protrudes farther forward than the forehead, then it is likely of west African ancestry. If the face is vertical, it is probably of European ancestry. In practice, many other tests are necessary in order to hazard a determination but, in the end, it works because there are consistent differences among U.S. endogamous groups. A skull that matches the group of features associated with African-American ancestry is called "Negroid." Skulls with traits suggesting European and Asian ancestry are called, respectively "Caucasoid" and "Mongoloid."


    the answer to the original question is yes, since we are all human beings. if we were not all humans, then the answer would be no. different species cannot procreate, mules and ligers being the exception.

    It is a good thing because the chances of accidental inbreeding is close to non existent.

    Interracial humping is superior because it adds more variety to the gene pool, assuming that people of different "races" (I use this loosely because race is a social construct as somebody pointed out) are more genetically different than their own "race."

    What a stupid question for someone your age. You've heard things? From who ? Hate mongers ? Genetics are like blind people....color is not an issue. Species is however......... Just dont t expect offspring if you mate with sheep.

    Good luck Brudda.

    You would be blessed to find love with anyone of any color.

    Good day sir !

    That's what I was going to bring up.

    I got into this discussion with a friend of mine who is a different race than myself and I sort of explained it to him like this:

    Think of dogs...they can all mate with eachother and although the purebreds are more "desireable", they are less healthy and less viable than their "mutt" counterparts because of the inbreeding problems...maybe that could happen to humans???

    Man... All I can tell you, is that 'Genetic Diversity' is the key to human survival. Who gives a crap what race a person is as long as there is love.

    I'd like to see what a more hateful forum would say on the matter...

    Can you imagine what will happen when the minority of white racists eventually run out of other racists to mate with, theres going to be some funny characters on the go :jester:

    how many races of human being are there left on the earth today?
    ---ONLY ONE LEFT-----yep,that is us.

    if you are saying a human having baby with someone of another race,biologically you mean with a monkey or a chimpanzee.
    different skin colour are adaptations to different environments:
    the sunshining on our skin has two effects on our body---
    a. it helps the body to synthesize vitamine-D;
    b. it blocks the body's synthesis of folate.
    Since both vit-D and folate are crucial for human survival,they must be balanced in the right scale.
    the enviroment in Africa is constant strong burning sunshine,so people living in Africa have developed a black/brown pigment in their skin to block most of the UV light so as to prevent folate deficiency.
    the enviroment in Europe is the opposite:too less,too weak sunshine.People have enough folate but it was Vit-D that they always lacked.So they developed very few light-blocking pigments in their skin,in order to maximise the amount of UV light recieved,so as to prevent vit-D deficiency.

    that is the story of skin colour.

    As for me,my great-great-great-great-great-grandparents lived in this environment with neither too strong nor too weak sunshine, so i am yellow/brown,somewhere between black and white!!!!!:)

    Those are different species that are in the same taxonomical order than humans and too distinct for their differences to be "racial." The differences that comprise what most consider race are subspecial.
