Here again the problem is what defintion of race are you referring to and for what population Your last sentence seems to say that the taxonomic and population defintions fail to hold but that the lineage definition is fine Whereas the Britannica article says that races do not exist in any biological sense It is also incorrect to say as Britannica does that genetic indicators can not divide races as we ve documented in the wikipedia article they can do so approximately The Britannic article is wrong because it states conclusions that are not supported by the data it goes too far 22 55 Jan 11 2005 UTC
