This resource is a scientific paper that assesses the biogeographical distribution of genetic variation and addresses whether populations cluster according to race.

This resource is an article that debunks the common belief that DNA tests can tell a person what race they belong to and explains some of the biology behind this. This resource also applies to Molecular Biology majors.

This interactive game was created by Claire and Madeline to illustrate how there are more differences between individuals than between populations.

This widely-refuted opinion article in the New York Times is from David Reich, a Harvard geneticist, who argues for the importance of studying genetic differences in human populations.

This review article discusses various definitions of race and applies the definitions to chimpanzees and humans.

This primary literature article illustrates the lack of a genetic foundation to race by emphasizing the similarities between human populations.

This commentary article incorporates modern data and methods into the discussion of race, health, and genetic variation.
