In modern day society, the concept of race is a widely accepted quality of humans.
Race is characterized by the color of an individual s skin color and their ancestry.
The former, most widely recognized as an indication of one s race, is accompanied by the presumption that the genetic and biological causes responsible for it, originate from people with a great degree of genetic variations within the human species. According to James King, author of The Biology of Race , Physical characteristics such as hair color, eye color, height, skin color, build, etc., are the components that make up an individual. These are the observable characteristics that can be inferred as inborn qualities. From these qualities we assume that the traits are inherited from the parents. The genotype is the genes that are directly given to the offspring, and the phenotype is the consequence of those genes.
