Again, I don't know how you can say there is no "measurable difference" where gene and DNA science is so knew. That's like saying there is no measurable different between a Korean and African brain. Well, just because we don't have the tools doesn't mean there isn't a difference.
Kenyans don't "tend to" be black. They are black. Japanese don't "tend to" have black hair. They have black hair.
I am not quite sure what you are getting at.

There is no difference between a Korean and a Kenyan. The differences are literally skin deep for the most part. (As for your brain example. Are you suggesting the brain of an African and an Asian are different?)
Between Japan and Korea there aren't even physical differences as they are so close together.
If you remember I said that any tendencies were vast (i.e. continental) and not consistent (skin colour actually varies in shades within all so called races).
THAT is what I'm saying.
And all Japan's isolation suggests is that there may be less variation WITHIN the Japanese population. Not that they are different as a whole with say their Korean or Chinese neighbours.
