Dear @JohnBerman,
Uno how 'race' is social-political (not biological), and humans are shades of brown?
A more mindful conversation about an american woman of south-asian & jamaican ancestry, might discuss how we're ALL a combination of our mom & dad (#HumanVariation, not race)

Happy #AmericansOfAfricanAncestryMonth, team-humanity🙏🏾
Q: If 'race' is social-political (not biological), if humans are shades of the same one color (brown), and if #HumanVariation (the term we mis-refer to as 'race'), is the real variety, vs entirety)...
...why do we do this?

Woke up with my neck and shoulders drenched, being perimenopausal is not much fun!
At least I’ve got our collective bestie @theAliceRoberts on hand via Audible
If I’m going to be forced awake I’ll fight it by relaxing as much as poss and learning! *Breathe*

When good-faith people call 'food-aid' (aka 'nutritional assistance'), by the weaponized term, 'food stamps' (which literally don't exist anymore), it helps bullies💜
Same with:
•#GunSafety (vs control)
•#GlobalWarming (vs timid 'change')
•#HumanVariation (vs 'race/color')🙏🏾

Oh eM Gee! So excited to pour over this. Thank you for sharing, JT (& for amplifying, Anne)
As a Palo Alto kid (& higher shade of brown, american of african-ancestry), who coaches people in 'precise non-judgy language' (& empathic racial healing), I LOVE talking #HumanVariation

In anatomy, a foramen is an opening in a bone that allows nerves and blood vessels to pass through. While there are numerous foramen present in the human skeleton, some individuals will have additional foramina in certain bones thanks to #humanvariation

Sometimes the abnormal is completely normal! This month we focus on normal #humanvariation. This particular individual presents with a case of both sacralisation (where the lowest lumbar vertebrae fuses to the sacrum) while still having 5 lumbar vertebrae!

Knock Knock!
...who's there?
#HumanVariation
...human-variation who?
Human Variation is the scientific term we mis-refer to as 'race' (which is the entirety, not the variety).
Humans are shades of brown, Jackie broke the #LoveBarrier and 'mixed-race' is illusory🙏🏾

Hi Kenidra & Alyssa😊TYSM for being the change (& happy 23rd day of #AmericansOfAfricanAncestryMonth)
My anthropologist uncle taught me:
•#HumanVariation: term we mis-refer to as 'race'
•We're not separate races or different colors.
•Stoplights require ability to see color🙏🏾

Morning #TeamHumanity🙃
How ya feeling on this 22nd day of #AmericansOfAfricanAncestryMonth?🙏🏾
My anthropologist uncle taught me:
1) #HumanVariation is the scientific term we mis-refer to as 'race'
2) 'You can't get a tan in human-town, unless you're already a #ShadeOfBrown'

Petition to create an official #HumanVariation subfield lol All in favor say I! #SubfieldShoutout #BlackinBioAnth
2 Feb 2021
From the available subfields, I'm repping human bio and genetics! But can I say that human phenotypic and genetic variation is a specific subfield of biological anthropology? Cause it definitely feels a little broad. Then again hair evolution feels a little narrow 😂

Although a more rare application of research done at FARC, human variation studies can also be applied to many fields of design to ensure products are manufactured to the correct specifications of the population.

Looking forward to explore future datasets systematically coupling transcriptome and functional data.
There is a lot to learn from #humanvariation! (4/6)
