could this be possible?

just sitting here blazing,having a wee ponder about things......
just watched a programme about mixed races, theory's and some research why they could be better than non-mixed races,
suppose to have better genes and be more resilient to disease and more attractive, usually better athletically as well,
so us humans travel around a fair amount these days,every race populating all over the world,mixed breeding between the races,
so say over hundreds or thousands of millennia,
would it be possible by that time the human race would evolve into 1 race? or even a "super" race? or could all the mixing eventually kill us all off giving us to many bad gene's?
or is this weed im smoking to strong??:bigjoint:
anybody any thoughts on this?

other theory's welcome:leaf::leaf:

It's already happening. Cultural and geographical barriers are melting.
And as it happens we have one less reason for conflict.

I don't buy it. Just sounds like bullshit propaganda to me.

Totally possible. The main factor that might get in the way would probably be the end of the human race. Like you said, it would probably take thousands of generations, who knows if we'd be around as a species by that point..

But I think it's logical if you follow the timeline, only a small minority of people today don't procreate with other nationalities, most of us do, so eventually we're going to start getting people with 1/48th Indian or 1/96th Paki, etc.. Eventually everyone will be a mix of everything available.

The genes are a different story I think. I'm not an expert on that at all, in fact I know little about it to be honest. But I do know that gene stagnation is dangerous for the species as a whole, so if we all ended up with similar genes down the road, there might be some complications with reproduction, but my guess right now is that there's enough random mutations already in genes provided by evolution that the organisms, be them humans as we know them today or something new, would find a way to addapt.

Pondering the possibilities of how efficiently the human race could mix may put a whole new spin on the term "Orgy".

Humans evolved upright walking so big males could carry an extra armload of food back to his female.

Feeding a willing female allowed males' canine teeth to become smaller since they didn't have to bite other males as severely while fighting each other over willing females.

What does it take to lead an Atheist to believe in somethings?

When it comes to genes, there aren't really "bad" ones in a certain sense. All that matters to our DNA is reproduction. If a human exists, it has DNA, and that DNA has been produced from a combination of that homo sapien's parents.

Sure, as times progresses, we may get more disease causing genes, shortsightedness genes etc. But if people with these genes can still reproduce and successfully do so, that is all that matters to the genes.

Who knows how many genes we may have in our histories that could have made us live longer, be smarter, faster, taller, stronger etc. But all of that is sacrificed if it does not beget reproduction.


If we survive into the far future when all races have been mixed into one type of person, who knows what we may be like.

To our genes, reproduction is of even greater importance than survival, if you break the argument down to the barest bones, that is.

Were all a mix of other races anyway, just time has diluted the mixes to some degree or another. You tell me what country hasn't been taken over raped and pillaged at some point in history. If I trace my family it makes me part English, part Irish, part Scottish part Spanish and that's just recent history (past couple of hundred years) If you look at the history of these countries, what other blood lines have been introduced. If I am part Scottish then its safe to presume that the Scottish part is a bit of Viking, Pick and Celt. The English part could easily be a bit of French, Norman or even Roman. How many different nations were part of the Roman armies in England, then part of their bloodline could also be in me and so on and so on.
We are already a mix of so many nations its just been lost in time for us to trace them all. Very few places are that remote, if any at all, that at no point in history has the bloodline of a nation been mixed with another. We are all mixed race to some degree and I can only see the human race becoming more mixed in the future

For those unaware of Scientific Adam and Scientific Eve,

population geneticists (some of those God Damned Atheist Super-Secret-Secular Scientists) have proven all of mankind has descended from a single male and a single female.

So far, no one has shone any interest in the subject here at RIU.

I think if the human race became a single race, humanity could be more vulnerable to viruses and such because immunities would be too alike are no longer diverse for selection or whatchacamacallit(?)............ Like it would be easier for a single engineered bug to wipe everyone out.

This weed really sucks....

I would argue that, to our genes, reproduction is survival, and vice versa.


And with the mass of people we have on earth of each race, I don't know that we could ever achieve a full and equal mixing. We would have clumps of different mixes. And these clumps would most likely be geographical, and they would tend to intermarry amongst themselves. I don't doubt that we would have areas of intense and thorough mixing, but I doubt that it would be a worldwide thing.

I posit myself as an example. My paternal line descends from the Melungeons, a group of mixed blood people in the southern Appalachian mountains. They were part American Indian, part Black African, part European, and potentially part Turkish. Even though I have this blood in my line, I mostly resemble my European ancestry which outweighs any other race in my blood. This is because the citizens of the United States have been predominantly White European and represent the racial majority of my ancestry.

The only way I would see a thorough mixing of blood to be possible is if the world was shaken up, so that there was an even number of each race in every corner of the earth. This sort shaking up is quite unlikely, though, I will admit, not impossible.
