Re: Will we become one race soon?
I don't think so. Not anytime soon, atleast. Blasians have a LONG way to go. I've only seen two and that was on the internet. Religions get involved; there's just no way some people will sleep with another color.

Re: Will we become one race soon?
Not to mention fanatical religion is on the decline. The barriers are breaking down. As civilizations become more advanced they globalize and begin to homogenize. It's happening faster than a lot of people think.
Arguments like 'we'll be going into space' do not hold up any value. So what? How does this prevent homogenization? This does not stop globalization. Going into space is not necessarily a barrier at all. |
Re: Will we become one race soon?
Um. We'd all better hope that we're not becoming one race, if a race is defined as "a population of humans or non-humans", because that destroys much of our species's survival capability. Being reduced to one population, no matter how large, would be a disaster. Hell, it already is becoming one. I'm all for understanding other people and cultures, but in a biological sense, globalization is one of the worst things that could happen to our species.

Re: Will we become one race soon?
What? I don't understand how it would be a disaster at all. If anything, it would be a great advantage. It would destroy many of the problems in our world now. Not to mention global government.
I don't see how it would hinder our survival capacity. Explain this to me. "survival capability" wtf? We completely rely on technology. I fail to see how this is relevant *confused* |

Oh it is still on the decline and it's only going to drop further as they develop. Don't be fooled. A lot of African countries are exploding development wise. It's not just tribes running around contracting aids anymore. India is also developing rapidly and will be a powerhouse in around 50 years.

Re: Will we become one race soon?
I said on a biological level. The homogenization of a species leads to a loss of biodiversity and therefore a lack of flexibility. I highly suggest that you read the book Ishmael by Daniel Quinn - I don't usually point people to books as part of an discussion because nobody ever actually reads such references, but I think the points of that book are very important for everyone to understand. Humans are, notwithstanding the proud place we assign ourselves in the world order, still a biological species, and we need to take care that we not go the way of the dinosaurs, so to speak. Any ecologist will tell you that multiple populations (i.e. multiple groups of individuals that don't usually breed with each other) are very important to a species's success.
To give a human example, people of different ethnic backgrounds (by which I mean that before globalization happened, their ancestors lived and bred in disparate locations and were separate populations to a large extent) tend to still retain genetic differences from each other, one of the more minor examples being skin color. These genetic differences, while making people of all races no less human, do in fact contribute to the phenotypic expression of the vast amount of genetic diversity that we, as a global species, can command. However, if globalization reduces us to just one huge population, the more "rare" genes will start dying out, slowly. Again, this is from a biological perspective, and not a human perspective, necessarily - though ultimately our civilization needs to reconcile the two or we're going to be in deep **** :/ |

Re: Will we become one race soon?
Though we may be seemingly moving in a direction towards cultural semi-unison now, I definately don't think that the species homo sapien will be the last species to come out of this particular line of evolution.
"Races" might become more intertwined within the next few hundred generations, but over the next few thousand generations, I think that a lot of [what we consider] "post apocolyptic" cultures of the future may theoretically be on rather significantly different paths. |
Re: Will we become one race soon?
We may be on a path to becoming an artificially altered humans species, sort of like the Abh in Seikai no Monshou, Senki.

Re: Will we become one race soon?
Theoretically, but I was more suggesting a sort of split.

well soon the main language in the us will be spanish. Thats a start

Uhh. Umm. What? Yes, India is exploding development-wise. Africa, though? No. Africa is not. Africa is tanking, crumbling, and ripping at the seams. If you would like I can pull up countless sources citing how poorly Africa is doing in our globalizing economy. |

im sorry..japan is gonna get hit with another bomb..j/kj/k

Re: Will we become one race soon?
Quite a few african countries are developing ap, and fast. It's going to cause a lot of over population too.
But I mean, overall you could say it's doing pretty ****ty because a lot (most) of it is still a hell hole. Big Market wise you only have like 5 countries there that are actually doing stuff and becoming a political power, but I wouldn't say that is *necessary* for globalization at all. There are a few countries that have quite a bit of money and ****ty markets. Either way, yea, africa is still a pretty big problem, but I mean talking about how long it will take to globalize the entire planet across the time scale of how long we've been here as homosapians, it won't be that long (assuming some really horrible things don't happen) |
