Preferred term

race and human genome variation  

Definition

  • Race is typically understood as a group classification system for humans based on assumed or perceived differences established in the fields of biology or sociology. In U.S. culture, race is often alluded to as being a truth of biology, but the results of large-scale DNA sequencing endeavors, such as the Human Diversity Project, have refuted race as a biological construct.
