    You google inequality and copy it from the wiki page.

    You expect me to do that when =/= works fine and is just three clicks away?

    Sorry for my late answer. Couldn't reach this forum yesterday. :(

    @ Aurora : my last sentence is what I deeply feel in me. No racism from me. But what will happen if all the species are mixed. No more white person, no more black person, no more asian, no more european, no more african. When all the ethnies are mixed. So no more racism cause we'll be from the same ethny ! ! I exagerate.
    But I prefer to see an Asian, an African, a European, etc .... because I'm USED of that.
    Maybe my job as a taxi driver who meets in his car all the races of the world pushed my to write this sentence.

    Again, no offense, no racism from me !

    @ Karaa : of course, mixity of ethnies my dear, no mixity of blood (group). Else we'd all die if we mix, I mean if we give somebody with a B group blood additional A group blood. For instance.

    @ Fenix : true. Mixing blood in reproducing people from different ethnies is not the best answer to eradicate ALL the diseases. I haven't mentioned (even thought about it) the genetic diseases that are transmitted from a generation to another generation.

    @ Overmind : true. Sexual relationship =/= Love. Love is a feeling. If I say "I love you" to a person (a girl of course ! :) )that does not mean that I will get a sexual relationship. This last is the consequence of a desire. So a sexual relationship results from a sexual desire. So what does "to make love" mean ? It's just nonsense. Don't say "I want to make love with you", but "I want to have a sexual relationship with you". But not sure that your partner will like your formulation.

    Unless you only have e or ę on your keyboard, hm?
    Not really, I'm used to !=
    I'd try the new thing out, but I'm so not gonna be looking for it to copy from somewhere every time I need it

    I couldn't find the alt code, but I found ± which is even cooler.

    why are you talking about this subject of difference between =/=, ±, != and finally ≠ ?

    Well I have é, è, ë and ê too.

    About this question :
    Genetic diversity via sexual reproduction is the key to evolution.

    Debate. What's your opinion ?

    I wouldn't think its a key to evolution itself, but more of just a survival mechanism. If our population's DNA pool didn't recieve new strands every now and then our species would be eradicated by every sickness ever quite easily.

    It is a way for us to survive. We evolve, We change because we get new DNA pool. We become stronger. But does that mean we will have to mix all the human species together ? I don't like this formulation of species, sorry, but I haven't found any other.

    Makes sense to me. Genetic diversity cannot be achieved any other way, and, unless Lamarck wasn't as dumb as we now think he is, taking sexual reproduction out of the equation would make it very hard to evolve.
