Challenges to Race as Biology
• No trait or gene is found in only one racial group.
• The amount of genetic difference between various “racial groups” is very small…and people may find that the person they are most genetically similar to looks very different from them.

Race: a folk taxonomy
• Race is a folk taxonomy, a system of classification based, not on science, but cultural ideas.

• The same person may be racialized differently in different parts of the world.
