One more thought:

>Did race exist then?
Horse: I don't think it did
Surely biological evolution would not be possible without members of a
species that could mate together choosing to not mate together any more,
because they identify each other as different looking. I'm not talking
about geographical isolation, but a species dividing and evolving seperately
in the same area. Surely that happens sometimes, right? Or is all
evolution and subdivision due to physical geography seperating the two
branches of the original species?
Would it be a social pattern to not mate with the birds with the bigger
beaks, or a biological pattern that says who you should mate with? The
choice of who to mate with is a moral quality decision either way, doing
what is perceived as better. It results in there being races. I think
racism is Intellectual, it is a pattern formed when social patterns such as
kinship and loyalty interact in predictable ways, and there is a choice
ABOUT society to be made. Of course, there are other intellectual patterns
about society that oppose racism.
