Do you believe in phenotypes?

phenotypes are real but i have some issues with them for me i dont fit in a particular phenotype like a mix of 3
they apply to things like hair, eye, and skin color, but don't work for any sorts of shape/sizes of your face (i.e. chin, head shape, etc.)

Yeah same, I find that different sides of my family align more with different phenos

hair, eye and skin colour are the NUM 1 thing that can vary from ethnicity to ethnicity, I am north african but I have green eyes, pale skin and dark brown hair but people can clearly tell I am from MENA
 
backed by evidence/use of the scientific method
There's no scientific method though. If you look closer then "method" differs in certain sciences. But you probably mean empirical evidence, then you can prove it yourself if you travel enough.

disliked my post then gave a first person experience that supports it

It is because ethnic face morphology differs from white face. You can be blond and blue eyed, but still look ethnic. And you can be tanned, but still look white if you are genetically white.

Does the scientific method just not exist anymore..? Empirical evidence is the foundation of it and the sci. method would be used in this case
 
@cut i lowk worded that wrong, I meant that hair, eye and skin colour are not good for determining someones ethnicity because they can vary a lot

Scientific method exists, but it exists as a lie. Empirical evidence is the foundation of it? Then math is not science anymore, because it works through deduction and thus, human reason, rather than experience.
On phenotypes, they do exist, and as I said, you can travel more if you want an empirical evidence.

Yes exactly this is why people can instantly clock if you are albino black, it was never about skin or eye colour

I mean, skin color matters, but it is 2nd thing in importance (face morphology is 1st). Eye/hair color barely matters, because most whites still have darker colors of everything except the skin.
 
Instead of making arguments, just deny everything theory.
You didn't provide a single argument apart from saying that the scientific method exists as a lie

How do you propose we come to conclusions on things then?
 
Oh cool can I see the proof
genetic ancestory is proven, and different phenos existing between different ancestories are due to genes responding to different environment and genetic adaptation, like black people having lower myostatin levels on average, whites having larger skull size

>If you look closer then "method" differs in certain sciences
especially in math, but you deny it is a science JFL.

to what conclusions? Some things can be concluded by reason, while others can only be concluded by experience. But reason will structure experience, so reason can work without experience, but experience without reason is meaningless.

What does the scientific method differing have to do with anything, you obviously aren't going to follow the same steps for using it for chemistry in comparison to something like genealogy (for example). The method is built around logical steps being followed to form a hypothesis, analyze, etc. and then come to a result based on evidence.

Okay and how would you conclude something on reason or experience

genetic ancestry doesn't prove that trait difference averages are genetic or adaptive (pheno based), traits like skull shape/size are based on your nutrition, health, lifestyle and aren't specific to any group of people/genotypes

maybe in pop-science it actually works like that, but in reality it works like that: someone just comes up with some crazy idea, it's rejected, and then after his death it turns out he was right. This happened with Copernicus, Newton, and other scientists.

just use it? Isn't it obvious?

n***a used chatgpt to get his link

Copernicus, Newton, and other scientists all used the scientific method to come up to their conclusions though, they were both just denied by christians at the time because someone believed that the bible said otherwise
just use it? Isn't it obvious?
No it's not obvious can you explain

the conclusion given is that there is no proof that people with different races have different dna and are genetically different, people in same races can have more differences genetically, this water lmao.

But the study that u cited said that With enough genetic data, it is still possible to statistically identify an individual’s population of origin. There are more than 100 polymorphisms in genes which can be used to accurately determine an individual's origin

they did not use the "scientific method" because as I told you, this method does not exist even now, let alone 500 years ago.
No it's not obvious can you explain
First you see something specific/concrete, then your mind structures it into a huge picture. Induction and deduction work together.

"genetic ancestry" doesn't prove claim that there's no races/phenos. It is opposite, phenos disprove genetics. (at least your view on genetics)

phenotypes are literally based on genes affected by different environment

Yeah but after it mentions there's substansial overlap between populations/members from distinct phenos having overlapping features which is why I originally said phenos only apply to hair, eye, skin colors, etc. rather than sizes and shapes of specific bones but I do agree on things like white people having larger skulls in general and black (and some EU's) having better muscle genes

Race is not the same as phenotype and I didn't claim that races don't exist and that phenos don't exist as a whole
Phenos disproving genetics is an oxymoron

I'd say there's more aspects than just genetics, people of different races apparently aren't that different genetically, and apes aren't that different genetically from humans either. Apparently, the small difference that does exist is actually critical, or it's not just a matter of genetics. A thought experiment could be conducted: take a person with African-American genetics, but who looks and acts white. If that is possible, then genetics wouldn't be that important. Phenos and races obviosly exist anyway even if they are 100% similar genetically.

"thats pseudoscience sir phenos don't exist"
Epistemology doesn't exist
explain?
