Official Statement of Race

I found it interesting that the AAA stated that  race is defined as of now as an unscientific judgement of someone's culture and society. Biological factors and evolution have proven to be the source of the color variation of people and how the cultures interact with each other. For years I have heard that race was a man made construct. In fact race has nothing to do with how genetically similar one person is to another. Just last semester I remember watching a documentary in which a mixed high school science class took DNA samples from one another, and guessed who they would be similar to. The African-American students felt as though they would be closer related to one another, and the Caucasian students felt the same. However, what the students uncovered was that their physical appearance had nothing to do with how alike they were.
