on genetics and race.
first of all, the relation between genetics and race is unclear especially because race itself is hard to define.
second of all, how does racial superiority even come into play if we are all of the same descent and as we learned in this class, we are all made up of the same things (DNA, atoms) in the bigger/smaller scale of things?
there may be a correlation between race and genetics, in that different races have different clusters of similar genes, but genetics is not the sole determinant of race, neither is it the sole cause of it.
the way i see it, race is a mixture of things: environmental conditions like culture and geography.
and superiority is a matter of an individual's genetics, not a matter of racial genetics.
the article fails to clarify the relationship between genetics and race.
and more importantly, it fails to define what race is.
