This is the craziest thing imo. It has bewildered me all my life that nearly all science related to genetic/physiological differences in racial groups separated by thousands of years of geographic/regional evolution has been too taboo of an undertaking, or discussed in academic and cultural mainstreams.
I’ve seen Bill Nye just recently make the case that the only difference between racial groups is skin pigmentation... How stupid do they think people are? Imagine how weird it would look to see a Ugandan guy that looked like a white guy with dark skin.
There was probably good intent behind reinforcing the notion that race is just "the color of your skin", before it spiraled into the shit-circus we see today. It's a good lesson (among countless others) on why the truth is important, much to the chagrin of post-modernists.

Or a Ugandan and a Khoisan.
I like looking at people and guessing their race or nationality.
Freaked one guy out when I asked if he was Senegalese. He was surprised an American could identify him based on his phenotype.
Races are just large families. As such, there are family traits that differentiate one family from another.
