You clipped "shared physical."

Do you doubt that things like hair color, eye color or skin color are
o genetic origin?  How about the psychological traits Gregory Clark
discusses?

Don't forget that the concept of "race" developed long before people
had an idea of genes.  My point is that races differ at the genetic
level because they have been subjected to different selection
pressures.  We should not be the least surprised about this.
