- The race debate: nothing to do with race
Resource Type: Article Published: 2008 Genetic differences are not the same as racial differences. Race divides human beings into a small set of discrete groups, defined usually by skin colour, appearance, or descent, sees each group as possessing a fixed set of traits and abilities and regards the differences between these groups as the defining feature of humanity. None of these ideas make scientific sense. But if the idea of race doesn't make scientific sense, why have scientists suddenly become so keen to talk about racial categories? They haven't. What they have done is become much more adept at defining genetic differences between populations.
