> Many experts consider biological notions of race to be largely debunked
Apply principal component analysis to human DNA, and not only does race pop out, it even coincides with the 'socially constructed' categories [1,2,3]. A 2004 review of anthropologists by Leonard Lieberman found 31% in the US recognize biological race, and 43% in Europe [4]. A 2009 survey of physical anthropologists in Europe by Katarzyna Kaszycka found that 51% (N=123) recognize biological race - 33% in Western Europe, and 70% in Eastern Europe [5].
