Question

It is often understood, by modern human biologists, that the argument "nature or nurture" is outdated. We now understand that human beings, just as other animals on earth, are influenced by the effects of nature and our lifelong experiences (such as our social relationships, political affiliations, religious beliefs, the food we eat, physical activity). For humans, culture significantly impacts our experiences in life. Skin color is a physical characteristic that comes with sociocultural experiences. Based on your reading and module overview, why is race an invalid scientific concept and more of a social construct? How do we speak, in a meaningful way, about the range of variation in human physical characteristics around the globe?
