Re: Anthropology break
True, but the distribution is lumpy- genetic traits in the cluster are shared unequally with bordering populations.
The important thing is that for large "racial" populations, like African Americans, there may be statistically significant differences in reactions to drugs, for instance, between the set AA and the set notAA, so that membership in the socially defined group indicates need for evaluation in medical practice.
but the result is not genetically distinct populations but a gradation of genetic traits across bordering populations.
