Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 7LTB
The biological definition of “race” corresponds to all of the following except.
- the genealogical species concept;
- the idea that subgroups within the same species can be distinguished from each other by ancestry;
- there is a natural hierarchy of groups within a species from “lowest” to “highest” forms;
- it should be possible to identify races on the basis of shared allele frequencies among populations;
- races within a species are not reproductively isolated from each other.

Students have asked these similar questions
The culturally constructed concept of “race” holds little value in scientific biological contexts because...
Group of answer choices
cultural explanations of human variation do not withstand the scientific method
there is more genetic variation within groups than between them
of the dichotomy between biological and cultural perspectives of race
there is no such thing as race
race has been continuously used to oppress categorized groups
When considering similarity between species in heritable characteristics, the lack of homology is homoplasy.
True OR False
Is “Race” a valid biological way to categorize modern humans? Why or why not?
How many biological races of humans are there in the world today?
Populations of people in any given world region often share more phenotypic characteristics with each other than they do with people in populations in other world regions. Explain how evolutionary forces contributed to this phenomenon.
