Because an individual will have an overwhelming majority of genetic material in common with any other individual, the idea of existence of pure races is false.
- As social beings, we employ the concept of race in a real way. The short answer is no, race cannot be detected in our genes.
- However, biological ancestry—which is different from race—is real
- Our DNA can (to a limited extent) reveal where our ancestors came from, yet ancestry is in no way related to race.
- Humans share 99.9% of their genetic code, which makes them remarkably similar genetically.
- Despite this, we observe significant individual diversity in phenotype, which is caused by both genetic variability and intricate gene-environment interactions.
- Thus an individual will have an overwhelming majority of genetic material in common with any other individual, the idea of existence of pure races is false.
