What part of this did I not read?

Despite the centrality of the idea of "breeds" to animal husbandry and agriculture, no single, scientifically accepted definition of the term exists.[3]: 340  A breed is therefore not an objective or biologically verifiable classification but is instead a term of art amongst groups of breeders who share a consensus around what qualities make some members of a given species members of a nameable subset.

Apparently the whole thing. Either that or you don't know what it means. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7925393/ you should tell these guys what they study and track don't exist.

Still waiting for that scientific definition of breed. That link doesn't have it and the thing you've told me to read more than once literally says it is a term of art, not scientific.

You're gonna be waiting a long time unless you start comprehending what you're shown. Like seriously, are you really this oblivious or just playing?

Let's pretend I'm this oblivious. That way you can give me the scientific definition of 'breed.'

Let's pretend you're not missing the fucking point entirely, and sickle cell anemia isn't only a problem for one race.

You were talking about breed, not race. You claimed breed was a scientific term. Please give the scientific definition.

Did I? Where? Seems to me I said they exist.

Me: “Race” has no biological definition. Star Wars fans can be a race if you want them to.

You: Why not pretend breeds of horses don’t exist while you’re at it?

So if you didn't mean that breed had a scientific definition, why bring it up when discussing race's scientific definition?

They track heritable disease frequency by race, which obviously exists scientifically being that. you act like 23 and me doesn't exist. "race doesn't exist" vs "DNA says this was a (whatver race)"

That's not an answer.

I will paste what I wrote again. Please either answer my question or give the scientific definition of breed:

Me: “Race” has no biological definition. Star Wars fans can be a race if you want them to.
