You don't know shit about biology. Go read any general biological textbook today, and I guarantee you it will have the distinction between gender and sex.

Here, I recommend this book I read from when I took Biology for Science majors. https://www.amazon.com/Campbell-Biology-11th-Lisa-Urry/dp/0134093410

Stop peddling your misinformation and bankrupt agenda, idiot.

I'm currently seeking my masters degree in Physics. When I was an undergraduate, I majored in Physics and minored in Biology. My "formal" background in this entails several biology classes and two genetics classes. None of them ever, even more a moment, entertained the idea that "race" was of biological significance.

In fact, Campbell Biology, a very commonly used biology textbook in highschools and at the college freshmen level, put it pretty well, explaining that "the genetic variation between race is equal to the genetic variation between species" in the context of the human species. This is why humans are considered to be one race which shouldn't be subdivided any further. Doing so would be statistically insignificant, as any further subdivisions wouldn't exceed the standard variation innate in the human genome (i.e. you would never be able to discern a signal from the noise).

I'm not saying genetic differences don't exist. Obviously they do. But in the context of genetic determinism, IQ, behavior, and crime, genetics are far less salient than, say, culture and other societal influences. If one wanted to make the claim that a "culture is wrong" (maybe because they value the wrong things, e.g., a culture that values throwing women into volcanoes to appease the rain gods), that is a possible argument to make. But to claim a culture is wrong "because of latent genetic inferiority" --- that's simply not support by the facts.

I am not an expert in this field. If you want to learn more, I recommend examining the sources that I linked. For a more rigorous examining, you could also take standard biology progression (BIO 101, 102 -> Genetics 101).

> I'd recommend focusing more on basic biology textbooks

This is a really good idea. I would recommend Campbell Biology for general biology at the intro level and Concepts of Genetics for genetics

Campbell's biology textbook is the best university level biology textbook I've seen.

Basically all of biology is relevant to understanding evolution (as well as a general understanding of chemistry, physics being also useful).

For something a bit harder (but requiring some more basic science knowledge), molecular biology of the cell is good.

I think I'll go for Campbell Biology. Can you tell me what's the difference between those two editions and why one is so much cheaper than the other ?
