A race<\/b> is a categorization of humans<\/a> based on shared physical or social qualities into groups generally viewed as distinct within a given society<\/a>.[1]<\/a><\/sup> The term came into common usage during the 16th century, when it was used to refer to groups of various kinds, including those characterized by close kinship<\/a> relations.[2]<\/a><\/sup> By the 17th century, the term began to refer to physical (phenotypical<\/a>) traits, and then later to national<\/a> affiliations. Modern science<\/a> regards race as a social construct<\/a>, an identity<\/a> which is assigned based on rules made by society.[3]<\/a><\/sup>[4]<\/a><\/sup> While partly based on physical similarities within groups, race does not have an inherent physical or biological meaning.[1]<\/a><\/sup>[5]<\/a><\/sup>[6]<\/a><\/sup> The concept of race is foundational to racism<\/a>, the belief that humans can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another.<\/p>\n

Social conceptions and groupings of races have varied over time, often involving folk taxonomies<\/a> that define essential types<\/a> of individuals based on perceived traits.[7]<\/a><\/sup> Today, scientists consider such biological essentialism<\/a> obsolete,[8]<\/a><\/sup> and generally discourage racial explanations for collective differentiation in both physical and behavioral traits.[9]<\/a><\/sup>[10]<\/a><\/sup>[11]<\/a><\/sup>[12]<\/a><\/sup>[13]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
