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.

Those objecting to the concept of race argue that the taxonomic definitions are arbitrary and subjective.

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.

I was born in Bournemouth, England, in 1943.

Race differences show up early in life.

Of course, individuals vary greatly within each racial group and should be treated as such.

I received a D.Sc. from the University of London in 1992.
