What does anti-racism look like in biology?

To be antiracist is to be actively engaged in the work to dismantle the injustices built by centuries of belief in a hierarchy of human value.

What does biology as a science tell us about human races?

Human races exist as cultural constructs. However, there are no biological characteristics that consistently align with cultural definitions of race. Humans are very diverse in terms of their genetics and their physical traits. This diversity largely reflects individual uniqueness and not differences among racial groups.
