All of the following statements support the hypothesis that humans cannot be classified into biological races except: A. There is more genetic diversity within a racial group than average differences between racial groups; B. Alleles that are common in one population in a racial group may be uncommon in other populations of the same race; C. Geneticists can use particular SNP alleles to identify the ancestral group(s) of any individual human; D. There are no alleles found in all members of a given racial group; E. There is genetic evidence of mixing among human populations occurring thousands of years ago until the present.
Why do anthropologists typically reject the concept of 'race as useful for discussing human variation? Select one: a. Because humans do not vary in ways that are linked to geography but only in cultural ways. b. The word 'race' is politicized, so it's politically correct to avoid it in academic settings. c. Because 'race' is an insulting way to talk about the differences between ethnic groups. d. Because anthropologists do not recognize human biological variation. e. Race implies that groups of humans are geographically and genetically isolated when, in fact, human gene flow is too great.
