Race: there is no biological definition

Humanae: skin tones matched to Pantone color chart- work by Angelique Dass.
photographed over 2,500 humans....
and believes she'll never exhaust the number of tones that exist in humanity.

We watched this excerpt from a Documentary called "Race the Power of an Illusion."

and then read: There is no such thing as race.
underlining the arguments the Author makes to back up the statement: there is no biological construct of race.

'Racial categories'

ONLINE ACTIVITY: sorting people:
In class, we have discussed that there is NO trait or traits that are UNIQUE to any one race- 

yes, there is a *higher* probability you will be lactose intolerant if you are Asian descent, 

but 

are all Asians lactose intolerant? no.  

Are all people who are lactose intolerant Asian? no. 

All attempts to find a biological distinction between different racial groups has failed.  Moreover, it is critical that we continue to question the motives and assumptions for that endeavor. 

This online activity offers examples of how we perceive race vs. peoples' actual ethnic background.
