So a new paper by The American Journal of Human Genetics, entitled Subcontinental genetic variation in the All of Us Research Program: Implications for biomedical research. The results of this study indicate that the genetic variation within race and ethnicity groups is not neatly divided into distinct, separate clusters. Instead, it exists along a continuum or gradient. The paper also said something very important: "race and ethnicity may serve as proxies for capturing sociocultural or environmental factors that are not typically accounted for by standard covariates in association models." This means that race and racial origin really do provide a way to study human populations. So what's the deal? If people are not separated by genetic clusters but more by a gradient, why use race as proxies to determine the genetics of a person?

Just because your title has "Video games" in it, doesn't mean that it's on topic.
Return to your containment board /pol/igger.

It quite literally is and everyone with an understanding of population genetics knows this to be a fact. This crap is just more Marxist Jewish propaganda and Lewontins fallacy to push race denialism on the West. We're over it.

“As a geneticist I also know that it is simply no longer possible to ignore average genetic differences among ‘races.'”
“While race may be a social construct, differences in genetic ancestry that happen to correlate to many of today’s racial constructs are real.”
“To insist that no meaningful average differences among human populations are possible is harmful. It is perceived as misleading, even patronizing, by the general public.”
“Genetic studies have demonstrated differences across populations not just in the genetic determinants of simple traits such as skin color, but also in more complex traits like bodily dimensions and susceptibility to diseases.”
“Genetic variations are likely to affect behavior and cognition just as they affect other traits.”
“Given that all genetically determined traits differ somewhat among populations, we should expect that there will be differences in the average effects, including in traits like behavior.”
“Present-day human populations […] have in a number of instances been largely isolated from one another for tens of thousands of years. These long separations have provided adequate opportunity for the frequencies of genetic variations to change.”
“The ancestors of East Asians, Europeans, West Africans and Australians were, until recently, almost completely isolated from one another for 40,000 years or longer, which is more than sufficient time for the forces of evolution to work.”
“Well-meaning people who deny the possibility of substantial biological differences among human populations are digging themselves into an indefensible position, one that will not survive the onslaught of science.”

>they aren't even pretending to care about video games anymore
Does anyone else have anti-woke fatigue?
