The Races of Men

The concept of "The Races of Men" historically referred to the classification of human populations based on physical traits such as skin color, hair type, and facial features. Modern science recognizes that human genetic diversity is continuous and complex, with no fixed boundaries between groups. Race is now understood more accurately as a social construct rather than a strict biological classification, emphasizing shared humanity and genetic overlap. While physical differences exist due to adaptation to various environments, all humans belong to one species, and genetic variation is greater within so-called "races" than between them.
