Deconstructing the concept of race not only conflicts with people's tendency to classify and build family histories according to common descent but also ignores the work of biologists studying non-human species.		102
Unless one is a religious fundamentalist and believes that man was created in the image and likeness of God, it is foolish to believe that human beings are exempt from biological classification and the laws of evolution that apply to all other life forms.		103
We emigrated to South Africa and later to Canada so I went to school in several places.		104
A race is what zoologists term a variety or subdivision of a species.		105
Each race (or variety) is characterized by a more or less distinct combination of inherited morphological, behavioral, physiological traits.		106

Sometimes it is claimed by those who argue that race is just a social construct that the human genome project shows that because people share roughly 99% of their genes in common, that there are no races. This is silly.		114
