When I was in college in the 1960's I took a class in physical anthropology. At that time in the world of science there were three recognized races: Caucasoid, Mongoloid, and Negroid. It was thought the oldest race was Negroid, I'm sure the scientific thinking has changed by now, as more and older fossil remains of early hominids are found. However one thing has not changed. There remains ONE genus and ONE species. All and every animal we call human in the generic world is a Homo sapiens. No subspecies and only cosmetic variations. Race is a irrelevant as the color of fur on cats, dogs, horses, or rabbits.

You need not apologize, Mr. Taylor for steel sharpens steel, and I have great respect for both the maxim and the fact.

Your writing is getting better and better and I remain a fan.
