Of course, individuals vary greatly within each racial group and should be treated as such.

Nonetheless, much has been learned by studying the statistical differences between the various human races.

To deny the predictive validity of race at this level is nonscientific and unrealistic.

Unless one is a religious fundamentalist and believes that man was created in the image and likeness of God, it is foolish to believe that human beings are exempt from biological classification and the laws of evolution that apply to all other life forms.

On average, the Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese are more similar to each other and are different from Australians, Israelis and the Swedes, who in turn are similar to each other and are different from Nigerians, Kenyans, and Jamaicans.

Startling, and alarming to many, is the conclusion that follows from these data that if all people were treated the same, most average race differences would not disappear.

Each race (or variety) is characterized by a more or less distinct combination of inherited morphological, behavioral, physiological traits.

Formation of a new race takes place when, over several generations, individuals in one group reproduce more frequently among themselves than they do with individuals in other groups.

We emigrated to South Africa and later to Canada so I went to school in several places.

Of course, individuals vary greatly within each racial group and should be treated as such.

Blacks in the Caribbean, Britain, Canada and sub-Saharan Africa as well as in the United States have low IQ scores relative to whites.

Sometimes it is claimed by those who argue that race is just a social construct that the human genome project shows that because people share roughly 99% of their genes in common, that there are no races. This is silly.

Those objecting to the concept of race argue that the taxonomic definitions are arbitrary and subjective.

The essence of a role-playing game is that it is a group, cooperative experience.

The status quo (of development) pre-ordains failure from the very beginning.

I am a medium. In the same way, doctors are mediums to bring treatment.

Citizenship is what makes a republic monarchies can get along without it

It was a tough year for me, '89, losing two Slam finals and losing another five finals. It wasn't until I won the Masters, or what's now called the ATP Finals, that things changed again. Suddenly I won seven tournaments in 1990 and became No. 1.

The Google model of targeted advertising is appealing because it claims to cut down on waste. We need to ask how that efficiency can be brought to creative process.

The tapestry of my life was a ruin of unravelling threads. The brightest parts were a nonsensical madman's weaving.
