who knows? time will tell.. But i dun support that theory, bcoz i want to discriminate against b*n*l*s.Originally posted by newcomer:If one day human races inter mix at a global level will we all merge as one race? Same color, same language, similar facial features, etc. I think it's an interesting theory, and can only benefit mankind.

Originally posted by Vigelic:did you know that in history, before race was decided by skin colour, race was first decided by skull structure?
By skull structure, what is now "indian" was previously "caucasian".
Thereafter, the "whites" did not like this classification and thus emerged the classification based on colour - separating indians from the rest of the caucasians.
Race first began as a means to classify people - something that humans like to do -.- that's how we got male female, round, square, etc.
But when looked at at the DNA level - there is NO "race" DNA. A black and white has almost no difference.
Colours are only determined by the genes. Hair colour, Eye colour, etc. including skin colour.

nt realli ma.. last time people go by bone shape also quite common sense wad since everyone has more than 1 colour (eye colour, hair colour etc colours also)Originally posted by newcomer:skull structure classification? that's interesting. but common sense tells us color is the most practical tool in dividing race, no?
erm. note: not the whole world follows father's surname.Originally posted by hiphop2009:adding a simple christian name is okay but adding a christian middle name along with christian name is
dats why at the world made it simple by following the dad's surname and dats it (no discrimination to the mum, dun worry). imagine a child name: tan-lim ah kow?
