Thanks for the break, I am not asking anyone to prescribe to my point of view so it is really pleasant to see someone keeping an open mind and reading for readings sake.
I don’t really see what you are driving at with first point. There are many races amongst humans and we are the only “human species” (if I may be so loose) on this planet since the other two died out x amount of years ago. Can you explain you’re point some for me please? I’m ok with the paradigm part it really has nothing to with the topic and was only my attempt to answer a very good question. If you look in Webster’s though it should give one definition of a paradigm as a set of beliefs that belong to a common view or something to that effect. When I read your line it tends to reminded me more of a schema than a paradigm.
