    From your source:

    Humans have much genetic diversity, but the vast majority of this diversity reflects individual uniqueness and not race.

    And

    The question of the existence of human “races” now becomes the question of the existence of human subspecies.

    … One definition regards races as geographically circumscribed populations within a species that have sharp boundaries that separate them from the remainder of the species (Smith, Chiszar, & Montanucci, 1997).

    … A second definition defines races as distinct evolutionary lineages within a species. An evolutionary lineage is a population of organisms characterized by a continuous line of descent such that the individuals in the population at any given time are connected by ancestor/descendent relationships.

    And

    It is critical to note that genetic differentiation alone is insufficient to define a subspecies or race under either of these definitions of race.

    You seem to have linked something that argues and shows the opposite of what you intended there, bud.

      Did you miss the whole section with the tree of races, showing the genetic differences in them? Maybe you didn’t make it all the way through?

        I think you might have just skimmed it. Throughout the paper the authors include examples of “race trees” which they argue have no places in scientific literature because they do not apply to humans.

        I have an idea. Why don’t you quote the section that proves your point. If I can’t rebut you by copying and pasting context from the same paper, you win. Deal?
