The Khoe-San seem to be the most diverged from the rest of humanity, but the population is so small and endogamous it would be hard to get data on mixed marriages with Khoe-San. Nevertheless, I wonder if there would be significant outbreeding depression in a Khoe-San x Australian-Aboriginal marriage. Given that there is evidence for outbreeding depression between 'out of Africa' humans and Neanderthal, and given that Australian Aboriginals have some fraction of archaic non-African admixture and Khoe-San probably have some fraction of archaic African admixture, it would seem likely to me.

We can hope that possible out-breeding depressions are minor but the fact that we don't know they are bothers me. We know about the possible inbreeding depressions and we even have laws against inbreeding and yet out-breeding we are left to speculate about.

[. . .] And what of vigor? What scientific studies have followed mixed race people over first and later generations? Why should the above just be assumed?"<br /><br />Some degree of outbreeding depression for crosses between distant races would not surprise me, but I think it's likely to be minor. I think studies so far have tended to simply show interracial crosses intermediate between the parent races on the quantitative traits that have been looked at. You would probably need very large, well-controlled studies to detect or completely rule out outbreeding depression.n/ahttp://racehist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-26215323902843948292015-08-13T01:08:26.971+01:002015-08-13T01:08:26.971+01:00yes i just changed my registration from my age 18 ...yes i just changed my registration from my age 18 "no party" to dem so if it's hillary vs sanders i can vote for the super jewy jew sanders in my closed primary state.<br /><br />but if it's hillary vs trump i'll vote trump.<br /><br />trump inherited 200-600m, so he's not the typical white trash conservatard, that is, he is white trash but he isn't a conservatard.<br /><br />trump and sanders are more similar than two front-runners have ever been.<br /><br />if it comes down to trump v sanders i'll have to ask how serious either is about closing the open borders. trump is a rich gentile and sanders is a jew, so they both have open border sympathies.<br /><br />hey, i love jews...as long as they're in israel. outside of israel i want to gas them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-70341551123283235652015-08-12T12:40:49.393+01:002015-08-12T12:40:49.393+01:00"There is no question that all mankind consti..."There is no question that all mankind constitutes a single species in view of the absence of any physiological bar to hybridization between the most diverse races or of any recognizable loss of vigor in the first or later generations."<br /><br />Are there any scientific studies that support this claim or are we just not allowed to go there?
