It was hardly an issue in the days when most Europeans had never seen an African was it? However, the actions of Hawkins and the Spanish and Portuguese slavers, taken together with Queen Elizabeth's commands to expel 'negars' from London suggest that 'race consciousness' and negrophobia were not unknown many years before the 18th century.

Saying that Australians cannot reproduce Chinese baby itself is not a scientifical conclusion but an axiomatical irrelevence. There is no genetic or anthropological definition of "Chinese". Nor is there one for an Australian.

Don't be ridiculous. Incidentally, rightly or (very possibly) wrongly, most of us picture an 'Australian' as a white European. Does your use of language indicate where you are coming from politically?

On the average, North East Russians share more in Y chromosome pattern with Turko-Mongol central asians than their Western counterparts who speak similar East Slavic language. On the average, Northern Chinese share more Y chromosome pattern with Koreans rather than Southern Chinese. English men on the average are more in common with Danes than certain Southern English population. Not to forget that Dark skinned Northern Africans have more common with "Caucasians" than the typical "Western Africans".

So? We share 90% of our DNA with the chimpanzee and 70% with the cockroach. Let's talk about whether we have more in common with lice or fleas. It would be just as unproductive.
You can beef on about these matters endlessly. I simply look at the fruits of 'White' rule and those of 'Black' rule and the implications are obvious. Incidentally I do not begrudge the Blacks the right to rule themselves. I just don't want to be there.

Saying that one is a member of "White European" is as scientifically meaningful as saying one is member of Catholic faith or one is a member of American Rifle Associtaion.

Nonsense. A Black American can choose to be a Catholic or a member of the American Rifle Association. He cannot choose to be a White European any more than I can choose to be a Black American.

On biological determinism, it seems alot easier to forget the fact that in industralised countries in the 20th centuries, IQ poin rose 3 points per decades while in desperte poverty of civil war inflicted African Nations, people are severly under-nourished.

That's the 20th century. In the centuries preceding industrialisation great civilisations rose and fell throughout Europe and Asia. The Black African has had his high points (Benin, Zimbabwe etc) but they have hardly been in the same league.
The rest of your post, with its reference to a supposed 'Master Race', is confusing and seems to contradict much of what you said previously.
