From Graham Reinders:

Re: Finding said to show “race isn’t real” scrapped (Sept. 3): Race may be the wrong words to use becasue it is politically charged.

I am a a plant prof. and a keen observer in 22 countries.

I am absolutely sure we will find group genetic evolutions for dealing with ancient environments. Some will be mental and some will be physical.

Race is too arbitrary a definition because world travel has spread genes pretty far into people claiming to be a certain “Race.”

Canada, I believe, says 1/16 blood makes one an “Indian” for legal purposes. Does Australia have any 100% pure, 100 generation, Aborigines??. The Chinese were trading there extensively in the 1300’s, who else?
