simple question. does race actually exist *on a biological/scientific level or is it just a construct?

I think not

wbu?

Yes. The Human race.

Obviously

Well yeah it is a social construct but that's not to say it doesn't exist.

It's pointless though.

I guess it's easy to say that human race crap when you're not a minority.

Wait I should have clarified if it existed on an scientific/biological level whoops

Ew, no thanks
OT: yes!

No.

It's important to talk about it due to race issues, but in reality it's just a construct.

no, it' just a perfect illusion.

it's just a construct of the human mind, it doesn't exist, we are all animals

No. Not scientifically speaking the human race is just 1 single biological race. There are different phenotypes, but there are no different races. Genetically we're all about 99% similar.

100M, 110M, 200M, Marathons, Hurdles etc. many different types of races

It really does. I'm not saying this to sound like a SJW. But genetically (and statistically) speaking, the differences among races ARE real. It's more than just a social construct.

It absolutely exists on a biological level. Race is the outcome of your genetic specification. Individuals are white-skinned because of biological codes for the level of (primarily) melanin in your skin cells while your hair colour and texture is specified by the strands' protein structure and pigmentation. Race is the name we give to phenotypic differences: it is the word we use to describe the different ways we all differ. These differences exist observably. And so the word 'race' we use to describe the phenomenon of observable differences, must exist as well.

Nobody calls it phenotypes. We call it race, and you've pretty much just acknowledged its existence.

We are a single biological species. We do not use the word race to refer to a whole species, and human race is more or less a misnomer as a result.

Stop with that human race ********.
Races do exist and the diversity is beautiful

It is exist but it's a social construct. Stop using 19th century pseudoscience and catch up girlies.

THIS

Coming from a medical background, I must add that treatment therapies differ from each patient. One of the ways to determine a therapeutic regimen (therapeutic planning) is through the patient's race (along with age, gender, physical condition, etc...)
