That's racist!

Do you even know what DIVERGENCE is, in regards to biology? It's fucking SPECIATION. Jesus christ, who is calling who a redneck? Done with your idiot ass, maybe you should take the advice you gave abacab.

in case you change your mind, I'd love to know what you're implying with this apparent non-sequitur. Since I provided an example of divergence in the paragraph you quoted, I'm not sure I understand why you seem to accuse me of being ignorant of its existence.

Not to mention my entire argument since the first post I made in this thread is based on genetic divergence.

Yes and I don't understand why you are seemingly "pro" homo sapien "divergence" when that would essentially be claiming that we are well on the way to speciation based on... race. An idea any established evolutionary biologist would scoff at. Basically things that you are accusing me of being "subjective" about are actually scientific terms that you literally do not understand.

You are talking about microevolution and adaptation while I originally addressed macro evolution. Nothing I have said is "subjective" or grey. Don't take a genetics course, take an evolution course. This time I am REALLY done.

You have arbitrarily defined divergence as only existing once the genetic difference is so great that the population groups are two species. I don't, and that has worked wonderfully for me for years in the field because it's an inconsequential semantic difference. It's a soft term.

I'm not sure whether I'm using the word that conveys the right degree of genetic differentiation here or not, but either way this part of the argument swings, you have established that you don't understand the processes of evolution and I have established that I do.

Off with you.
