The idea or concept of race has long been based on the physical characteristics of various humans in the world. According to the video, it is possible to relate the relationship between race and genetics by doing biological tests to identify whether biology does or does not contribute toward racial categorization. According to this research, it was found that race is only a racial construct that is developed by the invidious based on physical appearances and not an articulate representation of genetic variation among humans. Genetically, humans are similar, sharing approximately 99.9% of their genetic code.
