I restored some material to the intro that had been removed.  I restored it for three reasons.  First, the other version was inaccurate  Boas believed that races exist, and Gould and Lewontin were not students of Boas or even students of students of Boas.  Second, the other version introduces a specific debate between Gould/Lewontin and Rushton, and I think coverage of this debate belongs in the body.  Last but not least, my version does what needs to be done in the introduction  briefly lay out the major points of view that inform the article.  This leads me to the recent discussion between Rikurzhen and POM.  I think POM's point is that some people do not believe that race exists.  The simple solution I think is to make clear in the introduction that some people think races exist, others do not.  I think there must be a section later in the article that provides an account of this debate in detail, which is where we can introduce Boas if necessary, Gould, Lewontin, Rushton, etc.  I think as long as the article is clear from the get-go that there is controversy over whether races even exist, let alone what the term refers to, and then has some section in the body covering the controversy, then we have covered our bases.  We will not find one "voice" for the article that represents these two or three contending views.  I think it is reasonable to have different sections giving full account of each view, and sections giving accounts of debates.
