[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8851077, member: 85555"] but we aren't talking about human groups. One can believe there is no measurable different between humans inherently in this case, but also acknowledge that different primates or different species of humans (like say neanderthals) may have different cultural tendencies do to their biology. Elves being long lived is likely to have cultural implications. Elves and Dwarves having better night vision than humans will also have cultural implications. Eugenics was about differences in human groups and the misguided idea that you could breed super humans by identifying different traits. That is repugnant. But it isn't the same as saying there is this mythical race of creatures who tend to have a totally different society than humans do, or tend towards different societies. Just like you could say humans tend towards towards certain social organizations (and there might still be tremendous variety there, but ultimately we are very social), and canines tend towards a different social organization (at the very least you can say humans have a visibly different physical culture than canines).
