Alex Rosenberg - Philosophy of Evolutionary Biology

[@walternullifidian]

I think he meant to say that indigenous Alaskans are from high latitudes, not "high altitudes."

[@ianrobbins]

Altitude. You keep using this word. It doesn't mean what you think it means.

[@imaginaryuniverse632]

Inconceivable! 🙂

One important mystery in biology that requires a thorough investigation is why evolution and natural selection affects all kinds of bodily functions in people, but completely avoids one simple organ - brain. It's function does not get affected by natural selection at all. 200 thousands of years of evolution and countless of generations are not enough to change it in slightest way.

Fantastic study regarding racism, was exposed by a beautiful teacher by the name of " JANE ELLIOT " by her observations and teaching of students who she observed , with a mindset of those less or more " WORTHY " with blue eyes or brown eyes student, separated the mindset of the innocent,...However the best way to deal with racism is not to speak about it ever. 💙💫✌️

Thank you! According to semi-kabalistic and semi-occult point of view there are 5 races: white, black, yellow, blue and red. And all races except the blue race came to earth from the various planets. It is interesting that Jews and Arab belong to blue race and ancient Egyptians and Native Americans to red race. I know that according to evolutionary theory and modern science such kind of racial theory is prejudice and even hallucination. That's why I don't know why scientists continue to use the category or term of the race?

[@waynehilbornTSS]

@@mulen-x8u you're speaking blavatsky.. and in our mental universe memory is forever and ever stored as simultaneous block universe events.. but the terms were not racist as you said. Remember.. modern science deals mostly with low IQ thinkers...average IQ is 100...this is a Republican loca. Don't expect mankind to have a collective clue Those living around Polaris have larger suns and different physiologist. Modern science is ignored by atheists.. they assume brain memory because they assume separateness We all live in hermetic principle one

[@XOPOIIIO]

I'm tired of pointing out to obvious fallacies in those talks about race. At least this man recognized that race does not exist in the same sense that species does not exist, because it can't be defined. That's a good start, he also confirms that traits usually associated with race do in fact exist. Now we can confirm that there are distinct populations with distinct traits that often overlap, but because they overlap it's hard to distinct them strictly. That's how race does not exists. It does not exist in the same way that languages or cultures do not exists, because they overlap. In that sense they do not exists, but not in the normal sense we use the word "exists".

Oops:0:45 he’s a elementalist. Wow what’s next a quarkist? However if I’m ever lost in the woods with this fella I’ll have no problems: he and the bear can be on the same wavelength. Blahaha

[@yadurajdas532]

Interesting… Race etc, are just concepts. They don’t actually exists in biology proper However… this concept have a causal power in the world of biology Equality is an other of those concepts ( an antidote ) a constructive one, which has causal power in the real world but none existence in the realm of chemistry and physics Loose ends of materialism

[@S3RAVA3LM]

So there's just 'man' and different skin tones rather than labeling men by their skin tones as if to distinguish, too indirectly entailing different origins. I always figured it was a form of evolution and what area or biome man inhabited. Some folks of a darker skin tone like to be reckoned as the "original man" because they have black skin - this is pride and vanity without question; such is seen everywhere in various forms, religion, beliefs, the materialists etc.. In truth, there man was, time immemorial, and was of a darker skin tone. This is how I understand it. There once was a man of dark skin tone who commented here on youtube to me stating: "we created you". And i of a fair tone, he was implying that black man created white man. Absolute delusion without question. I told him he evolved from monkeys and case was closed.

[@haydenwalton2766]

gaslighting 101. when a scientist is far more interested in signalling their virtue rather than explaining reality - we're in decline.

[@Myd-z7s]

Why does local adaptation preclude a racial designation to populations? That would seem to conflate issues rather badly.

[@iain9821]

Local adaptation is a process that occurs over a long span of time. Racial designation is a mental construct invented in order to assert power. Rosenberg does the opposite of conflate the two. That is good science.

[@Maxwell-mv9rx]

Another video shows a lot rambling. It is not true evidence. Rethoric abstracts without experiences details .

[@prodbyed4549]

If there are certain diseases that effect certain groups, why not focus on the disease itself instead of the group? The issue is not race, the issue is how we treat people because of the illusion of their race. Just like the issue isn't free will, the issue is how we treat people because of the illusion of free will.

[@piruz3243]

If a certain disease affects (*) a certain group, then one would think that the characteristics of the group is also important in finding a solution.

[@evaadam3635]

How can you treat people if you have no free will to choose to treat ?...

I notice the word philosophy is increasingly used in things that have nothing to do with philosophy; the love of wisdom. Paring the word philosophy with the stupidity of evolutionary biology as it is understood today is an insult to philosophy. So humans did evolve; fourteen versions of human in a universal cycle, the theory that they evolved from a different species and not from their own human prototype is nonsense and the august name of philosophy should not be tarnished by associating it with this nonsensical theory.

[@deepashtray5605]

Do you understand evolutionary biology?
