Race has no genetic or scientific basis.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
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.
You cannot look at a person's genes and say with any accuracy whether they are from one racial group or another.
Race is a layer of being, but not a culmination.
I never though much about race.
If a race has no history, if it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated.
If there is a race, it is one to bring the benefits of genomes to human therapeutics. We all want to get there. We all want people to have much more meaningful and productive lives as they age.
We must come to the point where we realize the concept of race is a false one. There is only one race, the human race.
To deny the predictive validity of race at this level is nonscientific and unrealistic.
A race cannot be purified from without.
