McGill University's Office of Science and Society: Race Sophistry

This is something like the tenth article I've seen peddling race antirealism that's composed of the same collection of fallacious arguments. We find the same idiotic arguments over and over and over. Though there is a bit of variation... From the McGill thing:

   In fact any two unrelated human beings on the planet are 99.9% identical in their DNA sequence. Only 0.1% varies, and here’s the most important takeaway message from all this. It also happens to be the most replicated finding in the scientific literature on human variation.
   Of this 0.1% that varies, almost all of it (95.7% to be exact) is found between individuals within the same race. Despite what our eyes perceive, there is more genetic diversity within a race than between races
   If you didn’t know that, don’t worry: you’re in good company. Three out of four college students taking an introductory course in biology and genetics also do not know this.

Tha's right...a textbook instance of Lewontin's fallacy, flanked by two even more idiotic arguments. Not that the last ridiculous argumentum ad sophomorum is really an argument... 

   And, of course, it wouldn't matter even if humans were 99.9% genetically "identical." (Actual degree of genetic similarity: about 98.4%.) What matters is whether humans fall into groups with clusters of phenotypic and genotypic traits. Which we do. Which is to say: races are natural kinds. Which is to say: races are real. 

   Incidentally, by some estimates dogs and wolves are 99.9% similar...but they're different species.

   Go ahead and try to google this stuff, incidentally. Aside from an Atlantic article by Nicolas Wade, what you'll find--even if you search for "races are biologically real"--is a torrent of sophistical bullshit arguing that races aren't real--that is: not natural kinds. 

   This is, of course, Lysenkoism/political correctness. The arguments and evidence clearly indicate that races are real groupings, with genetic bases. And this has been clear for quite some time. But this conclusion is politically incorrect, so it's deeply suppressed while politically correct nonsense is tarted up as if it were science.
