Philosophical Mountain derived from a Genetic Pimple

The more I learn of human genetics, the more I grow to fundamentally despise racist terminology such as “white and black”, “Mongoloid, Negroid, and Caucasoid”. Yet, what perplexes me even more is how Population Geneticists (those who should know better) still use such terms even though most all of them readily admit humanity is more than 99.9% identical on every genetic level. What we use to categorize each other is almost entirely religious, social/cultural, and/or climatic/environmental induced “appearance” which is often confused with our ignorant assumptions regarding Human DNA.

What I’ve seen from studying sheep and sheeple, there is an enormous need to group off into like-ness cliques (i.e. White sheep, Black sheep). And once the larger group is semi-stabilized, further needs arise where deeper like-ness cliques are developed (i.e. Irish Catholics, Irish Protestants or Rwandan Hutu, Rwandan Tutsi). And sadly the cliques keep growing and variating (i.e. Rich and Poor, Rich and Ridiculously Rich). What is more disturbing, you’ll see small children behaving in similar patterns even before their parents get the chance to refine and radicalize this human tendency toward bigotry. Palestinian children are an example taken to the furthest extreme (their hate for the Jews is certainly not innate).

When I see similar Philosophical Mountaineering applied to “Ephraim” and the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel, it brings me further mental duress. It seems several diverse groups desire to claim exclusive rights to the House of Joseph… while they all seem to forget that Joseph was given a coat of “many colors” while Ephraim was promised to be the “fullness of the peoples/nations“. No matter how passionate and assertive British-Israelites or African-Israelites or Asian-Israelites become regarding their claims to Joseph, they are all one day going to look past skin tones and nose features… and come to grapple with and love their shared brotherhood of many colors.

Furthermore (even if you don’t agree with the Two House Teaching), hopefully you’ll begin to understand the realities of Human Exponential Population Growth and perceive how not long ago we were all on the same boat and had the same papa (Noah).
