From MajorityRights I found this: But no source. That is why I just ignored it.  Can anyone source this? well there you go, they are saying what I proposed in my guess... and they do play a LOT with semantics...     Two randomly selected individuals from different populations can be closer to each other than either individual is to a random co-ethnic can be doesn't mean the majority of random selected individual WILL BE  For one or a few markers, in trials where an individual is compared to a randomly selected co-ethnic or a randomly selected individual from another population, in a minority of cases, the individual will be closer to the person selected from a different ethnic group, well, duh!! especially if those markers are the ethnic group specific onesbut the proportion of such cases will decrease with the use of more markers the more markers you add the more likely you'll be adding ethnic specific ones. However, if the entire genetic information is considered, then an individual will be closer to a random co-ethnic than a random individual from another ethnicity.they are saying the opposite of their initial argument, the However here is totally out of place they're basically saying the same as in the previous sentence, however makes you think that they'll conclude something different...    So basically they say that the more traits you compare between two random individuals the more likely they're going to be closer to an individual from the same ethnic group.... duh!!!    And that CAN BE a minority of cases where they are closer to individuals of other groups... :rolleyes: so what's the point?? it's only hot air, semantics designed to confuse, but in the end they are saying what we already know: you're closer to someone from your own race than to someone from another race. :clink    So LeShanwe CAN BE closer to a random chimp in the zoo than to the rest of her sistas and bruthas (especially if they only measure the traits for her IQ and lip size) but this doesn't mean that the majority of sistas and bruthas are closer to chimps than to their own kind.
