Races are defined by grouping humans by genetic attributes such as skin, eye and hair color; skin and hair texture; facial structure, and the alleles in their genomes which effect physical traits. If a human is sufficiently different from any other human, they are considered the only member of a unique race. Classifications of racial groups are fuzzy and not fully discrete, because every human is genetically and physically unique. +We can classify humans into separate races. Races are defined by grouping humans by genetic attributes such as skin, eye and hair color; skin and hair texture; facial structure, and the alleles in their genomes which effect physical traits. If a human is sufficiently different from any other human, they are considered the only member of a unique race. Racial classifications are not fully discrete, because every human is genetically and physically unique. We can also classify humans by their geographic ancestry by describing the locations where each person's ancestors lived at different times in history. Ancestry can be measured by analyzing genetic markers that a person shares with past human populations. Geographic distance was a significant impediment to gene flow between population groups for most of humanity's history. The humans within each isolated population group bred among themselves, resulting in the loss of genetic variation through the process of genetic drift. Consequently, members of these populations tend to be racially similar to each other. ## Genetic Quality -Genetic quality is defined by four main attributes: beauty, health, intelligence, and personality. Healthy, beautiful, intelligent, happy, and virtuous people are overall genetically superior to diseased, ugly, stupid, sad, and immoral people. +Genetic quality is defined by humanity's collective perceptions and sentiments. We define high quality genetics as any genetic attributes which help humanity to flourish and be happy. + +Genetic quality is defined by four main attributes: beauty, health, intelligence, and personality. Healthy, beautiful, intelligent, happy, and virtuous people are collectively genetically superior to diseased, ugly, stupid, sad, and immoral people. Certain humans are higher in genetic quality than other humans, and certain races are collectively higher in genetic quality than other races. In other words, some humans are genetically superior to other humans, and some races are collectively genetically superior to other races. -To demonstrate my point, let's compare humans and races to movies. There is no greatest movie, but there are still good movies and bad movies. Similarly, there does not exist a singular person or race which possesses the highest genetic quality, but there are higher and lower genetic quality humans and races. +There does not exist a singular person or race which possesses the highest genetic quality, but there are higher and lower genetic quality humans and races. A gorgeous, intelligent, witty, dazzling, healthy, kind firefighter is much more desired and loved than an ugly, diseased, schizophrenic, disabled, deceptive, rude, thieving thug. Someone in our world may prefer the thug over the firefighter, but on average, humanity prefers the firefighter's genetic traits. -The movie "The Matrix" (1999) is far more commonly enjoyed than "Battlefield Earth" (2000), thus, it is a higher quality movie. Similarly, a gorgeous, intelligent, witty, dazzling, healthy, kind firefighter is much more desired and loved than an ugly, diseased, schizophrenic, diseased, deceptive, rude, thieving thug. Someone in our world may prefer the thug over the firefighter, but on average, humanity prefers the firefighter's genetic traits. - -The world becomes a better place when it has more good movies and fewer bad movies. Similarly, the world becomes a better place when it is populated with humans and races of a higher genetic quality rather than those of a lower genetic quality. +The world becomes a better place when it is populated with humans and races of a higher genetic quality rather than those of a lower genetic quality. ### Beauty -Human beauty is defined as the ability of a person's physical appearance to evoke feelings of sexual attraction, arousal, and pleasure in other humans. Beauty is superior to ugliness. Beauty is subjective for each individual, but trends and patterns emerge when surveying large quantities of people. Human beauty ranking is calculated by comparing the sentiments expressed by large populations of humans. Some people are more beautiful than other people, and some races are collectively more beautiful than other races. Human beauty inequality is an inevitable consequence of human appearance diversity. +Human beauty is defined as the ability of a person's physical appearance to evoke feelings of sexual attraction, arousal, and pleasure in other humans.

Some people are more beautiful than other people, and some races are collectively more beautiful than other races. Human beauty inequality is an inevitable consequence of human appearance diversity. + +Beauty is superior to ugliness. It is easier to reduce and obscure a person's beauty if they have too much than to increase a person's beauty if they have too little. ### Intelligence -Intelligence is defined as the ability to recognize patterns, be creative, and solve problems. Intelligence is superior to stupidity. Intelligence is entirely derived from the brain and is thus a genetic trait, but can be influenced by a person's environment. Some humans are smarter than other humans, and some races are collectively smarter than other races. Cognitive inequality explains much of the outcome disparities between different humans and races that exist in our modern world. +Intelligence is defined as the ability to understand information, recognize patterns, be creative, and solve problems.

Enough intelligence would allow a person to solve any problems that are caused by intelligence. It is also easier to reduce a person's intelligence if they have too much than it is to increase a person's intelligence if they have too little. ### Health -Health is defined as the proper functioning and well-being of the human body. Health is associated with a longer lifespan, increased mobility, and an absence of pain and disease. Health is superior to disease. Some people are healthier than other people, and some races are collectively healthier than other races. +Health is defined as the proper functioning and well-being of the human body. Health is associated with a longer lifespan, increased mobility, and an absence of pain and illness. Some people are healthier than other people, and some races are collectively healthier than other races. + +Health is superior to disease. Ability is superior to disability. Pain and suffering are inherently bad and unpleasant for humans to experience. ### Personality -Personality is defined as a person's thought patterns, behaviors, and methods for understanding, interacting with, and experiencing the world. Happy and virtuous personalities are superior to sad and immoral personalities. Personality is largely genetic. Personality and intelligence are connected. Some people have better personalities than other people, and some races collectively have better personalities than other races. Some examples of positive personality traits are happiness, virtue, hopefulness, empathy, calmness, compassion, sociability, generosity, cleanliness, honesty, perseverance, and kindness. +Personality is defined as a person's thought patterns, behaviors, and methods for understanding, interacting with, and experiencing the world. Personality is largely genetic. Personality and intelligence are causally connected.

Some examples of positive personality traits are happiness, virtue, hopefulness, empathy, calmness, compassion, sociability, generosity, cleanliness, honesty, perseverance, and kindness. + +Happy and virtuous personalities are superior to sad and immoral personalities. It is impossible to be too happy or too virtuous. Happiness is the ultimate goal of human life and is the only thing that humans desire for its own sake. ## Eugenics -Eugenics is defined as any practice or process which improves humanity's genetic quality. +Eugenics is defined as any practice or process which improves humanity's genetic quality. Eugenics can be observed in many different processes. Diseases which disproportionately kill weak, disabled, and obese people can improve humanity's genetics by reducing the prevalence of their inferior genes. Long periods of drought and poor weather can improve humanity's genetics by causing unintelligent people who did not stockpile enough food to die. The history of human evolution has been an overall eugenic process. Throughout human history, natural and human mate selection strategies have overall favored positive genetic traits such as health, intelligence, beauty, and sociability. The breeding arena of the human species is a fierce Darwinian competition with large outcome disparities. The fittest humans of the best genetic quality were able to live healthier and longer lives, attract the highest quality mates, and produce the greatest quantity of offspring. The processes of natural, artificial, and sexual selection caused the genetics of our species to improve. -One limitation of historical human eugenic mating is that people have had to infer the genetic quality of their potential mates from each person and their relatives' outwardly visible genetic traits. Sometimes, someone may possess superior genetic traits, but possesses an overall lower genetic quality genome. There are also certain mate pairings which result in lower genetic quality offspring due to incompatibilities in each mate's genome. With modern technology, we now have a way of sequencing human genomes, helping us to understanding who actually has the best genetics, and how we can pair up humans in the optimal way to improve humanity's genetics. +One limitation of historical human eugenic mating is that people have had to infer the genetic quality of their potential mates from each person and their relatives' outwardly visible genetic traits.
