Racialisme
| Aquest article (o secció) és manifestament incomplet. |
El racialisme és la creença que l'espècia humana es divideix de manera natural en races, diferenciant-les en categories biològiques. La majoria dels diccionaris defineixen el concepte racialisme com un sinònim de racisme.[1]
Definicions i diferències modifica
El 1903, W. E. B. Du Bois va exposar que el racialisme era la posició filosòfica que defensava l'existència de races, i que existien diferències col·lectives entre aquestes categories. També va desenvolupar que el racisme defensava que una raça era superior a una altra. En l'obra In My Father’s House (1992), Kwame Anthony Appiah resumia el concepte filosòfic de Du Bois exposant que "racialisme" era un valor neutral, mentre que el concepte "racisme" estava carregat de valors.
Avui dia, alguns antropòlegs i genetistes realitzen estudis que suggereixen que les creences racialistes poden ser tant compatibles com incompatibles amb la genètica de poblacions moderna.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Because of this complex and interwoven history, many loci must be examined to derive even an approximate portrayal of individual ancestry.»

[Consulta: 13 desembre 2014]. «[O]ngoing contacts, plus the fact that we were a small, genetically homogeneous species to begin with, has resulted in relatively close genetic relationships, despite our worldwide presence. The DNA differences between humans increase with geographical distance, but boundaries between populations are, as geneticists Kenneth Weiss and Jeffrey Long put it, "multilayered, porous, ephemeral, and difficult to identify." Pure, geographically separated ancestral populations are an abstraction: "There is no reason to think that there ever were isolated, homogeneous parental populations at any time in our human past."»

Our results provide empirical support that, over recent centuries, many individuals with partial African and Native American ancestry have "passed" into the white community, with multiple lines of evidence establishing African and Native American ancestry in self-reported European Americans.»

European genes accounted for 24 percent of their DNA, while .8 percent came from Native Americans. Latinos, on the other hand, had genes that were on average 65.1 percent European, 18 percent Native American, and 6.2 percent African. The researchers found that European-Americans had genomes that were on average 98.6 percent European, .19 percent African, and .18 Native American. These broad estimates masked wide variation among individuals.»
