Race Science

Race science is the study of human differences based on perceived racial categories, often asserting that these differences justify hierarchies among groups. Historically, it has included pseudo-scientific claims about intelligence, behavior, and biological traits linked to race. Today, it is widely discredited due to its foundations in racism and flawed science. Modern genetics shows that human variation is more complex and doesn't support rigid racial classifications. Instead, contemporary understanding emphasizes shared humanity and the social construct of race, which influences identity and experience but lacks a basis in biological determinism.
