A race is what zoologists term a variety or subdivision of a species.

Nonetheless, much has been learned by studying the statistical differences between the various human races.

The biological factors underlying race differences in sports have consequences for educational achievement, crime and sexual behavior.

Formation of a new race takes place when, over several generations, individuals in one group reproduce more frequently among themselves than they do with individuals in other groups.

On average, the Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese are more similar to each other and are different from Australians, Israelis and the Swedes, who in turn are similar to each other and are different from Nigerians, Kenyans, and Jamaicans.

To deny the predictive validity of race at this level is nonscientific and unrealistic.

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.
