''UNESCO organized a symposium on the scientific status of race in 1952. The declaration was made that all men come from a common stock and belong to a single species. Insignificant differences between them give no support to claim of racial hierarchy.''

-Was the UNESCO symposium correct in its statement that the differences between humans around the world are insignificant?


*I think that this statement is correct because scientists explained that all human beings come from the same ancestor. Race and racisim is all about the different religions, beliefs, life styles and living spaces. UNESCO is right to sat that insignificant differences between them give no support to claim of racial hierarcy because the biologhy aspect of the situation really has nothing to the do with racisim. I think that it is all about the classification we wanted to make and it is our creation. Of course there might be some differences between humans but it is not a support for racisim.

  1. Naz, your topic is same with mine and I wrote similar things as you wrote. I think all humans are coming from same ancestor and humans cause differences between them. It is a cultural difference and also there are some external disparity that cause insignificant differences (such as sun and water).

  2. I didn't write about this topic and didn't search about it. However, I agree that humans are coming from the same ancestor. The living conditions are different. For this reason the nationalities that reproduces in itself, don't have to much differences. However there are differences between the nationalities because of the life conditions such as the climate and the food sources.
