Human biodiversity knowledge test For all you human biodiversity enthusiasts out there, this test might raise the ire of some of the PC crowd but I found it entertaining and interesting. It purports to test how well you can tell Chinese, Japanese, and Korean people apart (link courtesy of Bargarz). I got 11 out of 18 correct which is above the (then) average of 7 but I suppose you could say I have a natural advantage. Just about the strangest comment about my racial origins I received was from an Indian national who said I could pass for someone from the north of his country. Wasn't quite sure whether he meant I look Nepalese or Hazara or perhaps like a Bengali with unusually fair skin (for the curious, this is what I look like). Razib notes: I can't tell the difference, scored a 7. Here's a picture of me about 4 years out of date. Razib's postscript: They're analyzing my racial heritage over at the Racial Myths board. The funniest thing to me is that someone declared me "brachycephalic" based on the grainy picture I posted earlier! (I am dolichocephalic last I checked about 10 years ago-though head shapes do change according to Franz Boas....) Also, check out this post titled Chapter 5 in Alex's book March of the Rednecks.
