Thread: Humans vary biologically, but race is a social construct

I can honestly say I have not even seen 1 european with an epicathic fold, although it doesnt need to be 100.00% just the fact that is is so common in east asians and so rare in europeans demonstrates just one racial difference that clearly exists, there may not be a single gene that is prevelent is absolutly 100.0000% of one group and 0.000000% of another but thats fine because race is about common descent. A race is a group of closely related ethnicities. Swedish, dutch and irish being ethnicities of the White race, han chinese, japanese and korean being ethnicities of the east asian race. Just because your sociology friends don't use the term race anymore, most of the population understand what it means.

The human term race is similar to that of 'breed' as used for dogs, mongrels may exist, but greyhounds and poodles still exist as distrint breeds.
