There was no significant period in which this is true. Migration has been constant and retracing backwards has also been constant as well.

Again, you sound like you're lifting this stuff from the summary of a bad future sci-fi movie. Do you have any actual evidence based reasoning for this, or should I continue to consider this the equivalent to the ramblings of a random old guy on a street who screams "THE END COMETH!" when you pass by?


Actually, that's one of the few things they got correct. For the vast majority of human history, people were limited to the speed that their own feet would carry them and to the supplies they could find or carry. This led to many isolated populations. Even until recent human history, a very large portion of the population spend their lives within a distance of their birth places which to many of us is just a daily commute.

Lmfao no. Race and ethnicity aren't actual biologic concepts. Race is pseudoscientific garbage and ethnicity is only useful from a cultural and therefore sociological perspective.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species_problem

Different species can sometimes produce viable hybrid offspring. Would this mean the lion and tiger are the same species?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_species
Is an interesting example of the fluidity of the concept of species.

Isn't ethnicity just the PC word for race? Also just because a specific human being is multi-ethnic or mixed race, doesn't mean races or ethnicities don't exist or are a useful concept. You can say things x,y and z are traits which are more prevalent to this specific race, and a, b and c traits which are prevalent in another race. Just because a person might have traits x and b, doesn't mean that a specific group of traits can't be called a race.

And yes, it is pseudoscientific, biologists use sub-species. But again, the concept is not set in stone.

Also about neanderthals, they were a different species or sub-species of human but could still procreate with us.

No. If that were the case, then there wouldn't simultaneously be African Americans and European Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, and so on. American is an ethnicity, which all races can share.
This is kind of a good example as for distinction between the two:
"A group of people identified as distinct from other groups because of supposed physical or genetic traits shared by the group. Most biologists and anthropologists do not recognize race as a biologically valid classification, in part because there is more genetic variation within groups than between them." (race) http://www.thefreedictionary.com/race
"an ethnic group; a social group that shares a common and distinctive culture, religion, language, or the like: "

No. I know you think what you're doing is clever, but it isn't. Species isn't "fluid." It's well defined. It's also not perfect and is continuously evolving because life is not well organized. It's messy and doesn't care about what's convenient or not for us.

You keep using that word, but it's not applicable. At best it's slightly malleable.

I never said anything about mixed race. Races don't exist and it isn't a useful concept in science. It's pseudoscience. It's garbage.
Greater Fennoscandia wrote: You can say things x,y and z are traits which are more prevalent to this specific race, and a,b and c traits which are prevalent in another race.

Um. Yeah. That's what a fucking average is. If you arbitrarily (race IS arbitrary from a scientific standpoint) designate one group filled with a variety of people as separate from another, of course you're going to get different averages. That's circular logic.
Greater Fennoscandia wrote: Just because a person might have traits x and b, doesn't mean that a specific group of traits can be called a race.

Actually that means that race is gibberish and isn't a valid taxonomic system.

Honestly, what I'm annoyed about is this assertion that, somehow, you aren't "preserving your lineage" by marrying someone of a different ethnicity.

Say you're a Finn. You marry a girl from Vietnam, and you have a kid with her. You raise this kid in Finland. He grows up speaking Finnish and, most likely, identifying as being Finnish. So...where's the problem? The kid speaks Finnish, identifies as a Finn, celebrates Finn holidays, etc. etc. ...So where's the part where his mom being Vietnamese matters? Is he not Finnish because his eyes are slanted, or his skin isn't a perfectly European shade of white? I don't get where in this process your "lineage isn't preserved", unless you are asserting that because he's part Asian, he isn't Finnish, at which point your argument that you aren't racist falls flat.

He would be half finnish, half vietnamese, nothing wrong with that.
Now take all finnish people and mate them with vietnamese. Finnish people as a racial group would cease to exist as a distinct separate group.

By your assertions, all of the white people in a place like, say, South Africa should all be multiracial Coloureds by now. Yet they aren't, and in fact they still make up a larger percentage of South Africa's population than the Coloureds do.

Of course, even the South African Coloureds themselves are a great testament as to why your idea that there would be "No distinct groups left" is bunk. They're all Coloured, but there are still distinct differences between them due to inter-ethnic breeding between different European and African ethnicities.

Another great example is the Metis of Canada. A new, distinct culture rose from inter-ethnic breeding between whites and natives. Hell, there's even significant differences between French and English speaking Metis.

It was under the assumption that the mixing would be total and complete.
This is not however the case in south africa, as the whites don't freely intermingle with the blacks, and actually live in gated communities procreating with other whites. If they did, there would only be Coloureds and black people and after a while only black people with a hint of european ancestry, or I guess they would be Coloureds. But as the blacks vastly outnumber the whites and procreate at a much larger pace, it would be like a drop in a bucket.

Neanderthals don't exist anymore because they fully intermingled with homo sapiens and got assimilated. Probably because homo sapiens outnumbered them and procreated more, just like what is happening in south africa now, and will happen in formerly white countries if the flow of immigrants and asylum seekers continue. Sweden already has 26% of its population immigrants or children of immigrants. There are neighborhoods where the police won't go because the people living there will throw rocks and molotovs. This is a new development which could be a coincidence I guess.

What if your culture values lineage and descent? And that that in of itself is used as a metric of evaluation of appropriate people too pair with? And that common lineage and descent is valuable.

Also, is ethnicity partially internal group identification, so physical differences that are seen as 'not' of a particular ethnicity (in this case Finnish) can lead to questions over whether they are part of particular ethnicity? And is the desire to not have children have to relate too this issue not desirable?

Eh, I'm fairly indifferent about it. Some relative married and had kids with a Japanese individual, if they did it I could too hypothetically as long as some basic communication is set in and personality is compatible. In my opinion, culture is a sand-castle worn away by circumstances and smashed by others but somebody on shore always makes another one and re-arranges it with the piles of the previous one.

I've only had two extra-dating relationships; a Caucasian and a Korean-American, though the circumstances were about same interests and not particularly inter-ethnic attraction. Both were brief because I'm quite indifferent. In the latter case it was a double-case of on-off interactions despite being official.
Hey hey, LP here: Too burnt out with this nation to make new lore or fix macrohistorical longue durée alt-his inconsistencies, too clingy to let it die.

In the end, who you want to fuck is your business and not really anybody else's.
It's just me against the world.

Ethnicity is not an issue, compatibility, and ideology would be what has importance.
PS Im actually an agnostic pagan strongly leaning towards atheistic (a T.A.P. according to Dawkin's book "The God Delusion")
