>>Not that wikipedia is the last word in science, but the concept of sorting mankind into three distinct groups does not make any sense. It does not seem like it could be done. I do not mean to say it is not useful when these terms are used to discuss generalities, but that is not science.<< Mary - Well, perhaps scientists have changed their minds since I learned about this. It does happen. What I read that paragraph from Wikipedia to say is that the differences are general, and apply only to broad groups, which overlap at the edges. Fair enough. I have no interest in being able to definitively classify people by race. If there are no races, from a scientific viewpoint, then so be it. - Allen
