-## Race
+## Genetics
 
-Seekia is a race aware mate discovery network. Users can browse potential mates while having a deep awareness of each user's race and the predicted race of their offspring. Seekia allows users to choose a mate who is the most likely and capable of producing offspring who belong to their desired race.
+Users can browse potential mates while having a deep awareness of each user's genetics and the predicted genetics of their offspring. Seekia gives users the ability to choose their mate in a way that maximizes the health of their offspring and increases the probability of their offspring possessing their desired traits.
-
-The racial description of users should be highly precise and detailed. The more accurately a user's profile can describe their race, the more effective Seekia will be at helping users to meet and mate with members of their desired races.
-
-Users can share detailed information about their race such as their skin, eye and hair color; hair texture; and the alleles in their genome which effect physical traits. Users can filter and sort other users by these attributes and the calculated attributes of their offspring.
-
-### Ancestry
-
-Seekia is an ancestry aware mate discovery network. Users can share the ancestral populations they are descended from and the haplogroups they belong to. Users can filter other users by their ancestry, and can view the calculated ancestry of their prospective offspring with each user.
-
-Genetic ancestry is a source of identity, pride, and meaning for many people. Seekia gives users the ability to obtain a mate and produce offspring who are descended from their desired ancestral populations. Filtering and sorting by ancestry will also help users to find mates who belong to their desired race(s), because ancestry is correlated to race.
-
-User profiles can include ancestral analyses from multiple providers and computational methods. The Seekia app is also planned to provide the ability to perform ancestral analyses from raw genome data files.
-
-### Racial Similarity
-
-For a person to have offspring who look as similar as possible to them, they should breed with someone who is the most racially similar to them, without being so similar that the negative effects of inbreeding occur. Users are able to sort other users by their Racial Similarity, a calculation which measures trait similarity, trait gene similarity, ancestral similarity, and haplogroup similarity. This tool can help to cure racial loneliness, the condition of being unable to find members of one's own race to mate with and befriend.
-
-Trait similarity compares user traits such as eye color, skin color, hair color, and hair texture. Trait gene similarity compares the alleles responsible for physical traits from each user's genome. Ancestral similarity compares the geographic distance between each user's ancestry composition locations.
-
-Facial similarity detection technology is another planned feature for Seekia. The Seekia app could compare user profile photos to help users to find potential mates whom have similar facial structures. Users could also import photos of people they are strongly attracted to for the purpose of finding a mate who looks similar to them.

 In summary, the genetic matchmaking technology within Seekia is a major improvement to the human mating experience.

 ## Non-Profit
 
 A common criticism of for-profit mate discovery services is that they have a perverse incentive to extract money from their users. Critics claim that a profit incentive may motivate these services to keep users as customers by preventing them from finding a long term mate and instead encouraging users to go on many fruitless dates with incompatible people.

-The Seekia network can act as a public census resource. Seekia's userbase can help humanity to track the geographic locations of the world's races, helping to inform people about where they should move to be closer to members of their favorite races. User profiles will be available to all researchers around the world, enabling interesting and valuable new insights about humanity to be discovered. Harvesting and analyzing user data is not the primary purpose of Seekia. People are more likely to lie on a mating profile than a research survey.
