Youre with a group of friends none of whom have had bioilogi

You\'re with a group of friends (none of whom have had bioilogical anthropology) discussing human diversity and the number of races. One says there are three clearly defined races, a second says there are five, while the third isn\'t sure. How would you explain how scientific knowledge fits (or doesn\'t fit) with their preconceived notions?

Solution

I would explain them that there is one and only race and that is human. I think what they seem to discuss is more about ethnicity rather than race.It is a misnomer

In 1950, UNESCO stated that all humans belong to the same species and that “race” is not a biological reality but a myth.
