- Notes
- Five: What we know, and why it matters
- 1 Human groups distinguish themselves principally culturally
- 2 There is much more variation within groups (polymorphism) than between groups (polytypy)
- 3 Human biological variation is continuous, not discrete
- 4 Populations are biologically real, not races
- 5 Populations also have a constructed component
- 6 Clustering populations is arbitrary
- 7 People are similar to those nearby and different from those far away
- 8 Racial classification is historical and political, and does not reflect natural biological patterns
- 9 Humans have little genetic variation
- 10 Racial issues are social-political-economic, not biological
