Race differences may disappear

One of the major driving forces of evolution is gene flow. This occurs whenever there is open mixing of genetic material between populations — something that happens today at an unprecedented scale. The fact that our world is so global, aided by the ease of modern transportation, means that there are few human populations that remain isolated. Breeding now regularly occurs among people whose ancestors may have originated from opposite corners of the planet. One result of gene flow is that genetic differences between populations tend to disappear. In other words, racial differences are likely to blend together. Humans of the future may look a lot more alike than they do today.

That's why I'm all for race mixing yo. It's the only way to truly end racism. Thank ? for evolution.

Also no more wisdom teeth for future humans.

    Interesting, this is the first time I've heard of this.

    Well this week anyway. I've actually seen a few hundred different threads/posts on the IC about the same exact thing. Pretty sure a similar thread was made about 6 weeks ago. But none this week yet, so good job.

    This is total ? in the future there will be even more genetic difference because people will be creating designer babies gattaca is the most possible near future and racism will NEVER GO AWAY it will only evolve and get stronger.

    I mean it all goes back to everyone having the same ancestors in East Africa. "Races" are an artificial construct. Just based on appearance. Like that racist who was 14% black. But he looked white! How is that possible? Cause him lookin "white" means nothing. We aint in1495 no more.

    It could be the year 5941 he IS ? white in every way that matters, him having outside ancestry means nothing. RACE is not an artificial construct it's a social construct therefore it has just as much reality and effect on the world as anything else.

    This might be the case for America, but I don't think you can make that argument for the world. Most of the countries of the world lack any major racial diversity.

    skin color, sure that could happen.

    Way too much variation for all differences to be eliminated though.

    As humans, we will become more and more alike. That's an inescapable fact.

    Racism will only transform, simply being a form of discrimination, which very well may not die. Black -vs- White may become ~

    Human -vs- Genetically modified Human (which will become a new form of Classism), or
    Human -vs- Clone (which could become a new form of workplace discrimination, word to Cloud Atlas), or
    Human -vs- Robot (word to iRobot), or
    Human -vs- Splice (word to Jupiter Ascending).

    As advanced robotics and genetic engineering approach (probably fully integrable, simultaneously, within the next 50-75 years), humans will be all the more united. The counterparts we create, however, will become our new victims of discrimination; That is, if they don't dominate us first.

    And that's real.

    ...even if there are no more black people around...

    Black people will never disappear. Never.
    If any race, Whites will disappear before any other, except for maybe those indigenous to North America.

    Race mixing to end racism is ... a contradiction in terms. It won't end it, even if there are no more black people around.

    So Basiclly the People with the mindset of "? ? " or "? crackers" will be left behind, outdated so to speak. That mentality is the old way of thinking. To even think that way today is s waste of time Right?

    He is saying that who the "? " is and who the "? " is will change not that discrimination is going to go away you stupid ? . So for example normal humans will become the ? and the genetically enhanced humans will be the crackers. It's just super evolved racism except this time there really will be a superior race of people no matter THEIR color.

    If the worlds current wealth imbalance stays the same THE FUTURE super evolved humans will most likely be white, because their ancestors WOULD have been the only people with enough money to afford to give their children genetic upgrades.
