Yes, a social reality. Genetically H. sapiens has pretty low genetic diversity.
They may have been 'human', but they were not the same species.
OK.... what does this mean, and how does it apply to the subject at hand?

Is the evolutionary doctrine a racist doctrine?

I think she chooses not to understand

Why would it be racist? I do know that my origins are Scandinavian. Can you guess eye and hair color traits? I'm not sure why, but our environments seem to play a role in our genetics.
Natural selection, perhaps?

Sounds more like me choosing a peach milkshake over strawberry. I'm not racist against strawberries.Natural selection, perhaps?

There's evolutionary biology, which is science, and apparently there's something out there called "evolutionary doctrine" - which isn't from science.
It's probably what's behind white supremacism. It seems like a notion that lighter skinned humans evolved from darker skinned humans is the basis of this unscientific "evolutionary doctrine" - I don't know. Whatever the specifics are of the case, this sort of unscientific notion is indeed racist.
What on Earth is evolutionary doctrine? Link?
It does sound sketchy, I agree.

First of all, scientists are divided as to whether the Neanderthals were a separate species, or a subgroup of homo sapiens. Nonetheless, there are certain traits the make it very easy to identify a Neanderthal skeleton:What is the difference between a Homo Sapiens and a Neanderthal?
None...just the name.
- Larger noses
- Skull shape was lower and longer
- Heavier jaws
- Shorter and stockier
- Deep set eyes with heavy brows
- Almost no chin
- Wider pelvis
- Larger hands with less fine motor skill
- Noticeable differences in the bones of the middle ear
- A body less structured for long distance pursuit

That is what the evidence indicates.

It does hmm. So some mutations became plants and others became animals. That is sooo stupid imo of course.That is what the evidence indicates.

Yes we know, it all sounds stupid to you because poof is so much easier than thinking.
In other words, you don't understand it, can't picture it in your head and have no idea why scientists make the claim.

It's something in the title of this thread; for more details, ask @Eli G , the originator of this thread.
Is the evolutionary doctrine a racist doctrine?
What explanation does the evolutionary doctrine give to the different human races? Does this have to do with the species of apes that populated the different regions of the earth? In any case, in human likeness, how many different races exist among the apes that later, according to...

What are you totally misinterpreting now?

Yes, that is what evolution is.
You do realize that common ancestor was single-celled, right? So some cells acquired the organelles for photosynthesis and others did not. They then evolved apart.
Yes, some mutations *from single celled ancestors* eventually lead to animals and others eventually lead to plants. The time between the single celled ancestors and multicellular animals or plants was quite long.

If you go to one of the "trace your ancestry web sites," many of these sites now allow you to mail in a DNA sample, and they can trace your ancestry to different parts of the world, down to specific regions within specific countries. For example, in Europe alone, the site Ancestry.com claims they can estimate your ancestry from within 1765 regions of just Europe alone, plus all the other continents, countries and many of their regions. It appears shallow regional differences can appear on human DNA in a relativity short period of time.

This brings up the question, if regional ethnic bits and pieces, can appear on our DNA, in a short period of time and linger to be seen centuries later, how about things like religions, that have been the central feature of all civilizations for thousands of years. Do we have religious genes on our human DNA? Would hate of religions. therefore be similar to being a racist, if religions have genes similar to race and ethnicity? These genes would impact behavior such as an enhanced imagination.
This could explain how many similar features appear in religions, over time, from regionally unrelated cultures. Christianity, for example, has many features from a common religious ancestry; part of the evolution of neural behavioral coding.
In the middle East, where the Muslim religion is still a strong central feature of many cultures, and behavior for selective advantage in culture is based on religion, this is very similar to selective behavior in any given ecosystem. There are also selective disadvantages that are enforced to speed up the process of coding. This may be good place to see how fast the DNA can change or reach a steady state. It also means ethnicity may not be fixed, but a moving target; speed of change. This speed may only apply to humans, since we have will and choice, and therefore can game natural selection with what can be called willful human selection and willful human selective advantages.
