Liberals have long argued that race “is a social construct” with no basis in biology. The science of genetics has however utterly exposed this lie: it is even possible to determine who in Britain is of Viking ancestry, and who has ‘half-Jewish’ ancestry, according to a researchers on the Wellcome Trust - Genetic History Project in Oxford, England.

Interviewed on the Science Show on the Australian Broadcasting Radio National, Sir Walter Bodmer, principal of Hertford College at Oxford University, explained how he was involved in taking samples from all over Britain to track down the extent of “Vikings, Vikings, Saxons and Angles” in the modern British population.

Of course, “if race didn’t exist”, as the lying liberals like to claim, such an undertaking would be impossible.

“Modern populations have been so mobile we want to get to a population that we think avoids the most recent intermixing by going to rural populations and sampling people, taking a blood sample for their DNA, whose parents and grandparents came from that area,” said Bodmer.

“So we think that will give a measure of relative stability and a picture of what the country was like say, 50 to 100 years ago before there was all that intermixing.”

Bodmer went on to discuss how certain genetic traits – such as Tay Sachs disease amongst Ashkenazim Jews – have distinct racial connotations.

“And there’ve been a lot of studies done, we did some many years ago that show you can see a residual of the identity of the Jewishness of people even through all the years of admixture. I mean, I’m half Ashkenazy Jewish myself and I suspect that would show if you did a careful analysis of my genes. So you can discern these structural differences and we want to do that in order to avoid making mistakes when we’re looking for disease susceptibility,” Bodmer said.

If it is possible to discern that Bodmer is “half Jewish” then this of course also confirms that Jews have distinct genetic patterns which are different to European populations.

 The Wellcome Trust - Genetic History Project has identified populations which have been stable for centuries in Britain – specifically in Scotland and the Orkneys, and which are their targets for tracking down Viking DNA.

This they do by comparing genetic samples taken there with indigenous Scandinavians – such is the accuracy of genetics in determining ancestry going back a thousand years and more.

The accuracy of the scientific method is precisely that which lays waste to the liberal delusion that ‘race does not exist.’ European populations only differ from each other by a few percentage points, and yet geneticists are still able to differentiate between them. The genetic distance between different races is far, far larger, in the case of Negroes and Europeans, the percentage point difference is counted in the thousands.

Race: It is in the genes.
