The way I understand races, all there is to it is the fact that different populations of people developed different morphological traits depending on their environment and that's it.
@DrSunnyTheSkeptic exactly. All of that because of the sun and weather

@Babylon .......and culture. I think many Eurocentric types see the glaring differences between cultures and relate race to culture. Take Liberia for example. A well read person of European ancestry who has had a few 'run ins' with young African Americans might immediately think of the differences between Monrovia and Amsterdam, or Mogadishu and Oslo, or the Ugandan Waragi with the American Space program. They forget Charles Drew, or George Washington Carver, or Maya Angelou, and they only remember some unfortunate event in some random city, and they correlate that......you know...... like people do. African Americans do the same thing with European Americans, they see some hate filled idiots, and the US becomes 1964 Mississippi. It would be great if we could all just be Americans, since we are the "melting pot" after all. That's where I get nuts! This whole idea that the USA is such a hateful racist place is just pure divisive bullcrap. We are not. The USA is the cure, not the disease. We should be proud of that.
