Why There Will Not Be a Beige Future

There is more in heaven and earth than can be dreamt of in any human philosophy.

Charles Darwin's understanding of the world is written in our very genes.

People of mixed heritage are not predictable mixes of appearances, but express a range of looks.

People may become more common with someone with richly-curly blond hair, deep olive skin, pale blue eyes, and almond-shaped cheekbones above high cheekbones.

There is nothing genetically impossible about such a set of features as per Mendel ’s law of independent assortment.

They are simply rare today because of the happenstance of history and demography.

The dream of the beige future obviates the need to emphasise the moral and ethical aspect of how we organise societies.
