Race

A division of the human race (homo sapiens) according to particular genetic and cultural traits. Traditionally, we refer to three primary groups: Mongoloids, Negroids and Caucasians. There are various theories about the human race. One theory advocates that there is a continuum of human connectedness with no clear hereditary limits between people and virtually no genetic determinant of race.
