Shouldn't we devise a Genetic superiority list of human races?

OP I am sure you have a list in mind. Why don't you state it?

On a serious note, even assuming that the intentions are 'noble' here, and concern themselves solely with health, I would say that white people are the most inferior. They fall to diseases which we South Asians repel with aplomb. Our only issue is with nutrition and it has nothing to do with genetics. So let's celebrate. But I am sure this does not bring cheer, for some reason.
i disagree we are more vulnerable to disease. whiteman is expert of bringing in the disease like blanket pox.

what the actual fack? I had to google this. The spelling and the description. 🤣

I agree and disagree. Ok, I will admit my earlier post was more clickbaitish. In reality I think different races are predisposed to different medical conditions (to use a broader term). So I don't think any such superiority list makes much sense.

third world counries ppl have stronger immune system due to less hygiene.

Umm Salamah narrates that she said to the Prophet Muhammad : "O, Messenger of Allah, are the women of this world superior or the Hoors of Paradise?" He replied: "The women of this world will have superiority over the Hoors just as the outer lining of a garment has superiority over the inner lining." Umm Salamah then asked: "O, Messenger of Allah, what is the reason for this?" He answered: "Because they performed prayer, fasted, and worshiped Allah. Allah will put light on their faces and silk on their bodies. The human women will be fair in complexion and will wear green clothing and yellow jewelry. Their incense-burners will be made of pearls and their combs will be of gold. They will say, 'We are the women who will stay forever and we will never die. We are the women who will always remain in comfort and we will never undergo difficulty. We are the women who will stay and we will never leave. Listen, we are happy women and we will never become sad. Glad tidings to those men for whom we are and who are for us.'" [Tabarani]

and this: Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) quotes the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) as saying, “The People of Paradise will enter it (in the best form). They will be hairless (in their body). They will have moustaches, not beards. They will be white-colored and strong. Their eyelashes are darkened with kohl (eyeliner). They will be thirty-three years. They will resemble Adam (in appearance and figure), their length will be sixty cubits and their width will be seven cubits."

Theology loves contradiction sometimes .

Islam literally believes people will become white when they enter heaven :rofl:

By superiority term,I mean better equipped to face environmental conditions or diseases.
If we can make such a list,we can modify our DNA such that humanity can be saved from dangerous diseases like COVID-19.

Or
May be by doing this,we will be able to predict that to which direction our genome is heading and let's say how much potential super humans will have against this industrial heavy metals polluted and radiated environmental .

This thread needs to close. Superior/inferior is not scientific, it's only in your minds.
@waz
How? Generally I agree though I think the important factor is your culture

But what about comparing how common desired traits are between ethnic groups?

There is no evidence to prove that certain races withstood Covid better than others. And genetic modifications cannot guarantee that we will not fall prey to new diseases, for the simple reason that they are.... 'New'. Our body does not have an immune response pre-programmed.

And we are better off focusing our energies and resources in controlling things like pollution, war, crime etc, rather than making humans super humans. There is something very disturbing about the concept of super humans.

I am sorry to say but the thread starter should see a Psychiatrist immediately.
He sure showing signs of a racist. First of all there is only one Human Race.
He is well suited to rest near Hitler, please find him a place.

I think some races lack the spirit of exploration. Look at our billionaires - so boring. Look at Musk, Bezos, etc. Some ppl just want to explore risking life and wealth.

Making a distinction between 'desired' genes and 'undesirable' genes leads to Eugenics.

Besides supposedly bad genes survive because they provide some benefit. For eg, genes that cause depression also make the individual more pessimistic, realistic and alert to incoming threats.

Let natural selection run it's own course. We don't need to do anything. People will not love and marry because someone has better genes.

I agree for the most part, and yeah eugenics was one of the first things I mentioned about OP's purpose. People have traits retained over history that are better suited for their specific environment.

Although subconsciously natural selection is constantly ongoing, who people choose to love and marry is inherently due to perceived benefits which partially are rooted rooted in genetics, like height, or social advantages, like wealth.

I think this is rooted more in American and perhaps overall western culture - they are developed societies with focus on research and progressing the human race

We are still stuck centuries behind them trying to catch up to basic levels of development, last thing on our minds is reaching Mars

Yeah, partially. No one's going to check DNA health report or whatever list OP's talking about.

Chinese and Japanese are already heavy into researching genetic engineering.
