Santa is white. Is it wrong?

Native American has been viewed as a separate race, although there is evidence of asian and even european influence in the genes, if I remember correctly.

And african "black" is distinctly different from Indian and Pakastani "black", with differences in facial structure, skeletal development and musculature.

I remembered that from a couple of human genetics classes I took in college, ...

Not too mention Australian natives and Pacific Ocean natives.

Human diversity is relatively smooth, making racial divisions arbitrary.

Most the black portraits came out of Ethiopia iirc.

Isn't that also where that group thinks they guard the ark of the covenant?

Some biblical references say he was white: Clarks' commentary accepts Lamentations 4:7 "whiter than milk" as referring to skin color. Some describes him as "fairer than the children of men", often interpreted as his physical description..

I can quote Revelations that his skin was bronze. None of these amounts to evidence of any sort.

The male was more diverse from the female than the female was from the male? Men had more children from outside their group than women did?

I don't think you can phrase this sensibly.

Come on, you are better than this. Roman legion warrior comes to middle east and rapes ( or has consensual sex with) 20 local women. They deliver 20 children which have 50% of Roman blood. Isn't this so difficult to understand? Anywhere where wars happened conquerors altered local genoms by killing local men and impregnating local women - plenty historic facts like that. Not sure what you guys are arguing about here.

So, by "responsible", you meant men initiated sex/rape more often.

Ask any breeder what is more valuable for breeding programs - good stud/male or good female. It is so simple, I am not sure why you guys make it so complicated.

The point was that the female half of Israelis' ancestry differs considerably from that of other inhabitants of the Levant. Someone who has an Asian mother and European father is going to look different than someone with two European parents. Is this simple enough for you?

It will look different than someone with two Asian parents as well. And if invasions and occupations by Europeans stretches for hundreds of years then original genome will be diluted to the point that it will look more European then Asian.

Holy **** your comprehension level is low. Israelis and other Levantine people differ considerably. The European heritage of modern Israelis is not due to conquest in Israel, but from the Jewish diaspora into Europe.

Humans were in a breeding program 2000 year ago in the Middle East? How is this connected in any way to the source of diversity in an area?

It's not complicated to me. The only complication seems to be you forcing some sort of sex-based differential in the source of diversity in an area, when there is no natural fit.

Examples please? I showed pictures of Israeli basketball team and dude from Lebanon, I said about my friends from Palestine - they look all white to me, no different then Italian, Greek or Spanish.
