Document Summary
Artificial construct based on physical appearance (the part we cannot control) The genome is the entire genetic diversity of a whole population, every. 99. 8% of any person"s genetic code is identical to every other human being. Of the 0. 2% that does vary, 90% of that variance can be found within any given population, while only 10% of that variability occurs across groups that we call races . When you have more variation within a group than across groups, it is artificial, the across groups are created by humans. because of their hair for a period of time. Racial labels have varied tremendously over time and across cultures. For example: the english people referred to the irish people as the black irish . Another example: the chinese referred to english people as the red people . It changes over time. in 1637 because they blushed a lot.
