Does race really exist, or is it a myth? |
The video answered that race does not exist, it is a biological myth. We may visually look different; however, our genetics proves we are all very similar. Some students participated in a DNA workshop they explored the biology of human nature. The students assumed that they would have the most similar genes to a person of their so-called “race,” however, this was not the case. Their findings clearly stated that two individuals of the same so-called race can be just as different as someone from a different race.

I completely agree with the video that race is a biological myth. I utterly agree as the video stated; “what is black in US, is not considered black inBrazil orSouth Africa.” Race is a substance of cognition.
