Expression talk:Mensch

From OmegaWiki

This article (Mensch) needs attention because: DM "A member of the human race. (Source: MGH)" is imho problematic. It relies too much on an english euphemisitc wording convention (which is reflected in some other European languages, too). In fact, there is nothing like one, or the human race, there are many. So we could possibly reword to: "member of a human race" or "… any human race" etc., which still possibly does not translate to languages having no concept of Wiktionaryz:race --Purodha Blissenbach It has been added to this category for attention. Thank you for your patience.

Are you trying to say that there are mulitple races ..  ?? GerardM 17:00, 14 September 2006 (CEST)

Actually, the word "race" is ambiguous when it's about humans, there can be many or one, according to the considered meaning (now, I'm going to check if what I say is true ;-) ). Kipcool 17:10, 14 September 2006 (CEST)

yes, I'm right. "species" seems better. Kipcool 17:13, 14 September 2006 (CEST)

Yes, biologically, there are several races of homo sapiens. Yes, species should be better. --Purodha Blissenbach 22:46, 14 September 2006 (CEST)
