Why the human race is growing apart
Back in December, DNA pioneer Prof. James Watson, 79, sparked outrage amongst fellow scientists, anti-racism campaigners and politicians, following allegations that he had made “racist” comments.
Prof. Watson had argued that there were measurable differences between African and Caucasian peoples.
Yet new research published in the journal, ‘Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences’, presents arguments that lend support to Prof. Watson’s position.
The outrage expressed by politically correct scientists, who claimed that there was no scientific evidence to support Prof. Watson’s position, is now shown to be utterly bogus.
To understand the depths of deceit to which even scientists will go to, to discredit new evidence can be seen by following the link to an article written by the Science Editor of ‘The Times’,
“Races have evolved away from each other over the past 10,000 years, according to new research that challenges standard ideas about the biological significance of ethnicity.
A genetic analysis of human evolution has shown that rather than slowing to a standstill it has speeded up, with different pressures on different populations pushing racial groups further apart. Scientists behind the findings suggest that European, African and Asian populations grew genetically more distinct from each other over several thousand years, as their environments took them down different evolutionary paths…..”

I congratulate the leadership and hard-working members and staff for the format of the new web-site. It is superb!
We are not all the same as each other and there are a plethora of differences between human ethnicities. Why this offends so many is beyond me. It should be an obvious and accepted fact by now.
My hackles rise whenever I hear any of these ‘isms’. In my book, people who cry “Racism”, “Sexism” etc. are themselves racist, sexist etc. for seeing the world only in terms of their own particular obsession.
Congratulations on your new site–it’s much more like the professional newspaper sites.
This man is one of the greatest scientists of all time. His views must be listened to and respected.
It really is outrageous that scientists will try to interpret the most obvious truths in ways which best suit their own prejudices. Surely it is quite obvious to all that people from Asia tend to have smaller frames than Europeans and in turn those from Africa have larger frames again. Why can we acknowledge that Kenyans win marathons quite frequently due to their physiology but to speak of other biological differences such as education is taboo? The furore is amusingly similar to when Darwin’s ideas were first published.
Political correctness is not merely irritating but surely also impeding genuine scientific understanding.
