Irrelevant sociologists Philosophers Jonathan Kaplan and Rasmus Winther have argued that while Edwards s argument is correct it does not invalidate Lewontin s original argument because racial groups being genetically distinct on average does not mean that racial groups are the most basic biological divisions of the world s population Nor does it mean that races are not social constructs as is the prevailing view among anthropologists and social scientists because the particular genetic differences that correspond to races only become salient when racial categories take on social importance From this sociological perspective Edwards and Lewontin are therefore both correct Well no Lewontin s claim that Fst invalidates a taxonomy is incorrect even from a culinary science perspective Do we need this garbage in the article 27 1 214 45
