Race, Evolution, and Behavior
Race, evolution, and behavior are interconnected concepts in biology. Race refers to human groups with shared physical traits, shaped by ancestry and geographic history. Evolution is the gradual process by which species change over generations through genetic variation and natural selection. Behavior involves how individuals respond to their environment, influenced by both genetics and experiences. While human genetic diversity includes physical differences, all humans belong to one species; race is a social construct rather than a strict biological category. Evolution and environment help shape behaviors, but individual actions are also influenced by culture, environment, and personal choice.
