No races
A recent study of Brazilian genetic ancestry has shown that appearance and skin color is not an accurate indicator of geographical ancestry. The study found that DNA amoung 'white', 'black', and 'intermediate' classes is tremendously overlapping. 'White' people studied had an average of 33% Amerindian ancestry and 28% African ancestry.
This confirms the widespread view among anthropologists and human geneticists that 'from a biological standpoint, human races do not exist'.
I found this in Creation magazine, their source is from New Scientist, 4 January 2003, p. 20, and ABC NewsOnline, www.abc.net.au/news/scitech/2002/12/item20021218135658_1.htm, 23 January 2003
