Race has provided the rationale and excuse for some of the worst atrocities in human history. Yet, according to many biologists, physical anthropologists, and geneticists, there is no valid scientific justification for the concept of race. The overarching message of "Race? Debunking a Scientific Myth" is that scientifically speaking, there is nothing special about racial variation within the human species.
