They're a different species than us based on genetic distance, but funnily enough, they are more -blam!- sapiens than we are, we have small doses of Neanderthal in us, Africans don't.
Hey cool I didn't know that.
Genetic distance between British person and an African is 0.24, genetic distance between a human and a Neanderthal is 0.08, 3 times less. Genetic distance between a human and a -blam!- Erectus is 0.170, still smaller than between a British person and an African. The more you know :)
What unit are you basing that off of? Percent?
What? Check my link and read the studies if you're interested :)
So the article is basically trying to argue that Eurasians and Africans are two different species... lol.
What we call different animals is arbitrary. A certain type of ape might be different than another type of ape, but they are both apes. A hawk is a different type of bird than a pigeon, but they're both still birds. Same thing for humans.
